Do you save change? If you have, have you always? Mom always had a dime bank, and I did always give her my dimes. But I did not become a change saver till around 1981-2. And I have never stopped. At first it was just dimes.
At some point it morphed into saving all change. At first I just threw it all in one bank. And I had an actual bank to begin with...I remember taping across the plug to keep it from falling out. And I remember shaking and shaking to get the change out.
So my next question is, do you separate your change if you save it? At some point I started taking old jars, making a slit in the lids, and they became my banks.
I don't mind cashing in pennies...in fact right now I have 4 full jars I should cash in. But I like to keep the silver coins. It gives a whole new spin to the phrase 'cold, hard cash.'
******************
I have did three more of these leaves...I added a few more that I had already done. I need to take time and put them all on the design wall. One thing apparent here is the big polka-dot ones really stand out. I forget what famous quilter said if a certain fabric stands out like a sore thumb, to just add more...that it will recede and become part of the background.
I know one thing for sure, I like dots. Circles. I have thought about doing a circles quilt at some point. I really would like to do that.
I need to settle down and watch the new/weather...hope you all have a good day tomorrow.
