ReplyDelete'Happy' by Pharrell Williams. It's super upbeat and fun.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all the beauty (and the loot!)
"A quilting we will go, a quilting we will go, hi ho the merry mess, a quilting we will go."

ReplyDeleteIt would have to be "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"!
ReplyDelete"Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me"

ReplyDeleteSince my grandmother was a quilter, I keep thinking of a song she used to sing to me at bedtime - What can the matter be? It talks about how Johnny went to buy a "bonnie blue ribbon" to tie up this girls hair, but he's not back yet - "Johnny's so long at the fair." Well, Johnny may have been at Quilt Market and was picking up not only ribbon, but fabric and notions to bring home to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm So Excited by the Pointer Sisters!
ReplyDeleteSunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows--oh,no--now that will be in my head for hours....
ReplyDeleteI'm a Material Girl, definitely! Too easy, so it has to be the right song.
