Talk about it Thursday !

I get an email or comment about my quilts pretty much weekly, thank you, but my quilts are not for sale.

Most of my older quilts are from Estate Sales and Auctions from our time in the Midwest. I use all my quilts, old and new and most still go in the washing and dryer, as we live in an association and I can’t have a drying line….It would come down after using…wouldn’t use on Tuesday (mowing day)….can’t change it….OLD people.

This is one of my quilts which I purchased around 1985ish? in Burlington, IA. I was new to quilting and I headed to an auction with two little boys, can you see that being a mistake! On the whole they did pretty good, but the waiting. This is one of three quilts I purchased that day. You couldn’t see the quilt, it’s was folded, folded and folded, then hand stitched around the outside edge, but I could see the quilting. $24 for three quilts. I took me days to get the stitching out. Someone didn’t want them to see the light of day. The quilts are not perfect, BUT very close. I use and love them. And they are NOT FOR SALE.  But, I do have quilt patterns, not this one, it’s nine-patch with solid white off blocks The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop
