Carrie shared her beautiful antique sampler with us! WOW!
Christy was the over achiever of the group! I love it!

I got all my blocks appliqued!
And my tree top together. There wasn't a good place to trim it and measure for the small border I am going to add. Maybe this week I'll get to it!! Shouldn't take much time at all.
I tried several reds and this one seemed the best.
The gangs all here! All of us had/have big events- Christy just became another great grandmother, this time of TWIN girls! Michelle is in the hospital today recovering from back surgery and Carrie and I are prepping to leave for Guatemala on Saturday! Was a good time to be together to encourage each other.
Love ya!
Wonderful progress, loving your Trees quilt! Safe journeys!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Lori... so sorry if this repeats... email issues. :( Love the quilt pics... Thank you for sharing!!! What fabric was commonly used for Samplers during this time period? Or today's equivalent if there is one? <3 Beautiful work indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt was stitched on linen, with wool thread. Carrie says many used a gauze fabric as well.
DeleteCongrats on getting your tree blocks finished and assembled!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great time on your trip! Is this a ministry trip?
