QUOTE

#46 Feb 14-27, 2024 (use the 1797 quote as your inspiration) “I am again fairly settled down to the pleasant duties of an old fashioned Virginia house-keeper, steady as a clock, busy as a bee, and as cheerful as a cricket.” (1797, Martha Washington) 

According to Mount Vernon and other historical websites:

She had control over the mansion house, the kitchen, the smokehouse, the spinning house, and the wash house.

DT/owner Becca S=

I chose to focus on the "busy as a bee" part of the quote. 

AND

DT Nana Connie= 

Nana Connie chose to use a postcard souvenir from a vacation trip visit at MV plus a portrait image of First Lady Martha Washington for her #46 project.

Lots of visual clues/topics within Mrs. Washington's quote to connect with past or current country farmhouse charm. 

With all the format options that are accepted at FQCB, it will be very interesting to see how our readers interpret the quote. Happy crafting!
