It’s time again to show our quilty treasures.🙂
So glad Kathy came up with this hand quilting blog updates,I so enjoy seeing each ones tastes in color and pattern choices. Keep it up blogging friends.😊
I had to go into storage to find my next project,I went though some tubs looking for a small quilt to work on,as this camper really isn’t meant to be doing queen size quilts.
I came across this little treasure,blocks that were hand sewn by hubby’s great grand mother.

I was going to straighten some of the wonky blocks but hubby said he wanted it just as it was….So it is just as it is.😀
I also found the old flour sack fabric that I had hoarded away that was from my grandma. It has some staining on it,I’m hoping that I can get it out with a little peroxide and sunshine. I want to keep the blue lines in it so I’ll have to be careful.

A simple x in each block will be quilted in this oldie,as I think it will match the quilts era.

After a little snooze here I’m look in to see what’s happening in your quilting world.🙂

Truly, what a little treasure you have with this quilt top. I agree, keep it the way great grandma originally did it. I actually remember you share that or a similar photo. Who could miss those gorgeous golden girls 🙂

I did share that photo once before, and I think you mentioned that I should do a postcard or something like that. I decided it would be fun to try to be it in a painting! I’m glad I did!

That quilt looks like one from my mother-in-law’s house. That must have been the style years ago. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. I also love the painting of the girls!

I think the nine patch was a very popular pattern back then, those simple patterns to me are often the best!

Perhaps you can try using a product called Restoration on your feedsack. It is a product that takes out stains on vintage linens and quilts. I’ve used it and it works extremely well!
