When you leave here be sure and visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound…our hostess for PS. My goodness – Pink Saturday rolls around quicker each week. And the Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat is less than two weeks away. We’re doing some swaps this year and this quilted book swap is a first for me. We only made 11 pages each and they were to be a Texas theme. So for Pink Saturday I’ll show a little of my pages.
I used an old cutter quilt and ironed on a transfer I made from one of my favorite growing up songs…
Happy Trails To You sung by my heroes Roy Rogers and Dale Evans – King of the Cowboys and Queen of the West.
What fabulous role models. I wanted to either be Dale or be adopted by them and they were way ahead of Angelina & Brad adopting about 10 kids so I really thought I had a shot although I think my folks would have objected!
And here are the rules you had to follow to be in the club:
Roy Rogers Riders Club Rules:
1. Be neat and clean.
2. Be courteous and polite.
3. Always obey your parents.
4. Protect the weak and help them.
5. Be brave but never take chances.
6. Study hard and learn all you can.
7. Be kind to animals and take care of them.
8. Eat all your food and never waste any.
9. Love God and go to Sunday school regularly.
10. Always respect our flag and our country.
Happy Trails Pink Pals! Cowgirl Nancy

I can't believe that this is your first!! What an incredible job you did, I love the look of it all. Please be sure to post the swap, would love to see yours too. Happy Pink Saturday and I hope you found a good home for the lily. That was very hard for me to give up, but I would have been so sad to see it die in this heat. Maybe next time you could do a cactus?! Yeah right!! Have a great weekend, Char

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt book! Wow - it's really a book? I loved Roy Rogers and Dale Evans! I went to their musuem a while back when the kids were young. They had soooo much stuff - I though I collected trivia! Pink Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour pages are wonderful and very inspiring! Good luck at the retreat!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday,

Dear Nancy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post, especially the memories of your sister.
I remember Dale and Roy and Trigger and was the jeep called claireabell...my dh and I couldn't remember. I had forgotten the rules but those are rules that apply even today.
HAPPY PINK SATURDAY, NANCY

This quilt book is amazing, and I particularly like the stagecoach fabric. What a find! Happy Trails ... never heard that one before, but when I was 4 I had a wind-up gramophone and Roy Rogers' Four Legged Friends record. I still remember all the words!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
Oh my goodness.. I feel like Scarlett O'Hara, who NEVER HAS THAT HANDKERCHIEF WHEN SHE NEEDS ONE! This quilted book project sounds like fun! Roy and Dale were about a good decade or so before my time, but I know my father had fond memories of them! I'm sure we could be better off with more programming like that again, instead of many of the choices available to our kids today!.. Anyways, I can only IMAGINE how beautiful these books will be when they are all finished! Happy Pink Saturday, and hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDelete(thank you for your visit Nancy~your thoughts are so cherished!)
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! Oh, I love your pages, my gosh, I am in that swap too and haven't even began! Yours are setting the bar high, too! I work well under pressure though, so no worries.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story about your sister, that's just the best! I can't wait to see you and your girlfriends again this year, and I'm bringing two friends, Gail and Shannon, you'll love them. See ya' soon! Happy Pink SAturday, ! Suzie
Nancer...this is adorable! Can't wait to see more....you gurls are doing some amaizn things. And I saw your comment on Lisa Lisa's blog. Isn't my Lisa Lisa the best? I would LOVE to get to meet her, I wish she could come down. Well, I will see you soon.

Hey girl! Oh, yes, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth yet! Just hanging on by a thread! LOL I took my pages to Valita last night, and saw yours... And it's no wonder why we connect so well! I had a similar idea with the cowboys/girls and Happy Trails...! Can you beleive it? But it's twisted differently... Isn't that a riot? I sure can't wait to see you!!!!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh.. and that is such a sweet story about your sister... made me cry, but it was so sweet. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post and those quuilt pages are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMagic and Joy!
Lisa!
