For those of you that aren't familiar with Vintage Thingy Thursday, Suzanne at Colorado Lady host this event weekly. We all post something that is 'Vintage'. We are having router problems so I am a little late getting this posted. (i am sitting with my laptop hardwired into the back of the kids desktop in order to get internet, not very comfortable) ;(
In my case I have been posting about my Great Grandmother's quilts that either my sister, mom or I have. They are amazing pieces of work and we are so fortunate to have them still. Most are in excellent condition. The one pictured here is one my sister has. She used it for years on her guest bed. I love the appliqued tulips (tulips are my favourite flower). Her stitches are so small and delicate. the colours are still pretty vivid. I guess these were made in the 30's or 40's.
Until next week, hope you all have a good one!
Absolutely stunning quilt. The stitches are just amazing. I can only imagine the time involved in making such a treasure...Learning to machine quilt takes up way more time than I imagined....but it is fun!
