Before I went on my trip to Ohio, Linda, Kathy's sister, asked if I would be interested in taking a vintage quilt off her hands. Thank you Linda for thinking of me!
Here is the charming quilt I made room for.
Freehand fan quilting on 2 sides.
Double quilt lines on the other 2 sides. I LOVE everything about it!!
The quilts below were brought to my lectures and we had fun seeing a wide variety of quilts and styles!!
These were about 3/4" finished squares.
Love the blue and chrome!
Is this chicken as cute as ever???
Love the stitches too!!
Most 4th of July I have ran a local race, either by myself or with my kids if they are home. This year I opted to walk the 6 mile race. I came in first in my age category! The only time I ever came in first and they posted me with a different age category so I was not recognized as first place!! Figures! Keepin' me humble...
But, while on the walk I met a woman and we chatted a bit.
I've been on a running team the last 2 years, but I'm always up for a new adventure. I like that it is a 40+ all woman's team. Sounds like they have a good time, but are a little competitive.
(I think I'll fit in just fine!)
I've been trying to get my walking speed up and boy it is hard! I think it is harder than running!!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
woah I didn't even recognize your blog. what a face lift!
ReplyDeleteLove that hexi with diamonds quilt. What a beautiful star it forms in the middle! Keep up the walking/running. Keeps you young ... at least that's what I keep telling myself! Lol!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vintage quilts--we are walkers here, too..not always fast, but moving at least ooof-dah
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julierose
I love the quilts especially the blue and chrome. There is something about those fabrics that speak to me! The crazy quilt and hexi quilts are amazing too.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see so many different styles quilts. Hard to pick a favourite. Have a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteWhoo! The blue Princess Feather style quilt....love the colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty you were gifted.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing the vintage quilts that were brought to your lectures. In the Oak Leaf and Reel-type quilt, did it appear that the tan had once been green?
ooh la la...that blue/red princess feather....drooling here..LOL
ReplyDeleteVintage quilts are so fun to see. Love the new look of your blog!!! I mean I always did, but it's a neat new look!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your new blog looks great! So streamlined and easy to read. Lucky you--what a wonderful Bowtie quilt. Congrats on a 1st place win! I always thought it was harder to walk than run, too. Have fun in the 100-miler :)
ReplyDeleteOh, for the love of old 4-patches, old 9-patches, old crazy quilts! And that wonderful big Prince's Feather! What beautiful old quilts!
ReplyDeleteWonderful antique quilts! I like that the sharing goes both ways at your lectures. =)
