Nothing is REALLY as the Picture Make it Look

Nothing is as it seems.

The other morning I was chilled here in Florida and I was to lazy to get my own quilt and Husband’s was there…Isn’t it pretty. Well, yes…BUT

 Husband’s quilt is the softest quilt in the house.
That’s all about the fabric quality, (purchase the best you can afford)

I machine pieced it, say 1985ish, and tied it with yarn. It’s been washed and dried for YEARS and over all it looks pretty good.
All of us on our sites try VERY hard to make everything perfect, right lighting, right look, etc. etc.  The truth is NOT always perfect.

The Quilt itself is pretty good but the binding has not faired well. Yes, it was doubled, machine sewn on and hand sewn down. BUT….

star quilt pattern

It’s not aging well, and that’s OK. (pic I would have shared, no one would see)
Husband wants it left just as it is and I will not be repairing it.
Remember, not all is as it seems.

Talk it Over Thursday – Great Quilt

My Quilt Begin

This is the quilt that started it all for me.
I had made pretty much all my clothes in high school, prom dresses to night gowns. After our boys arrived, I cross stitched and then moved to quilting. I started making quilted pillows first.
In 1984 we moved to Burlington, IA for Husband’s work and I went to a few quilt classes, auctions and was learning about quilting at every turn. I share this pin wheel quilt block this week too HERE
Pin Wheel Quilt
Great, Great Grandmother made My Mom a Pin Wheel QuiltOn a visit down to see us, my mother arrived with this quilt for me. As a child I’d never seen it, never heard anything about it. 
Great, Great Grandmother made a Pin Wheel QuiltMy Great-great grandmother had made it for my mother. Mom remembers helping with cutting of the fabric and helped pump the sewing machine. It’s machine pieced and hand quilted. 
Great, Great Grandmother made My Mom a Pin Wheel QuiltThe off blocks are done in a spider web quilt design.
The blocks are outline quilted
The edge and it’s tiny stitches. 
This quilt is never used. 
I have it out on a bed, I just like to looking at it and “I” do use it…All the time

Black Quilt for a New Look

From The Quilt Ladies

I love changing things around, stopping at the linen closet is one of my joys. I have a bad day…I just stand looking into it…maybe pull one out and it’s day done, all better !  I machine pieced this quilt and had it long arm quilted.  I think it was one of the boys??? All new to me !
