I am completely under the weather. Am going in for a covid test this afternoon. I don't get sick often and I have been completely miserable. I've had my Mill Girls quilt downstairs to hand sew the binding and I've been too weak to pick it up! I have not been around my kids at all, so it's a fluke that we all got sick about the same time. I was in an airport and airplanes most of the day on Friday and I'm sure that is where I picked it up.
This blog is a repost of some amazing textiles.
In the fall of 2015 I was able to see these amazing and beautiful antique textiles by
Beauville on display in Alsace.
Quilts and fabric are so much more than a "blanket" for warmth. Each piece of fabric is associated with a person, place or memory that makes it special.
Have a lovely week, dear friends.
So beautiful! What a treat :)
ReplyDeleteThe piece in the first picture is a gorgeous one. Scrap bags.....I can see why you purchased one.
ReplyDeleteI have been sorting through fabric lately. I have so much fabric that brings me joy and good memories. I love it when that special piece makes its way into a project.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely fabric and great advice! I'd do what Mary Koval said too!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Lori! In 1997 I did my very first trip to U.S., where I fell in love with the world of quilts! I bought a handful of fat quarter. During this twenty years I made every effort to learn how to make a quilt, and right now I'm not an expert but I find joy in every little work I have done. Every small scrap of this fabrics still reminds me of this wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteYour scrap bags is a treasure!
OH so pretty! Each quilt reminds me of what I was doing at the time I was making it, along with special fabrics...quilts become memories for me!
