We've been sorting through "stuff". You know how things pile up and we tend to forget about them--out of sight out of mind!
One closet door hasn't been open for while--so looking through boxes stored there, these two quilts were found.
This starry quilt is 1930's era-- all hand stitched
A work of art in my book. Some of the fabrics have deteriorated over time
Some of the hand carded cotton shows through in places
This patch is worse. Am thinking of covering with a sheer fabric to preserve the areas
The back shows the tiny stitches placed by the quilter
I found this quilt many moons ago at a yard sale for little or nothing
This quilt was found in a bin ready for the trash--no way was I letting this go away. It just needed some love again. Then here I am placing this lovely in a closet to forget about it.
This one is mid 80`s made--machine stitched.
