Now I don't claim to be a quilt restorer, but I have brought back life to a few quilts. My lastest was for my
friend Sheryl. She made this quilt back in the 90's, can't you tell by the fabrics? It looks just like my 2nd quilt colours. She never quilted it, but only tied it and did a rolled edge binding. Over the years they have loved and used it alot. maybe a little too much love!

| uh oh something happened |
 |
so I did a little hiding of the tear
I even found some fabric from the same vintage! |
 |
| I quilted it as best I could in the ditch and around 1 square |
Now they can love it for many more years!
