Looking to the Past - Part Two

One thing is certain, our Ladies of the Cloth group has much to share about their craft. Whether it is quilting, the original focus of the group at founding, yarn crafts such as spinning, knitting crocheting or felting, paper crafts or wool work, each genre has its place here. This is another of Kay's family quilts. Just look at all those tiny little blocks!

Just look at the outside border on this one, it is also bound with bias edging!

 

Seriously, can you believe all the pieces in this log cabin? Just look at all the beautiful and precise  embroidery stitching. This is a "Summer quilt." No batting. 

The backing.

What a treasure, Can you imagine the time this took to create?

• posts like this remind me to examine my Vintage quilts. 
• do you store your quilts properly? using plastic bags or containers are not recommended. 
• I use pillow cases, turn and refold mine twice a year and stack them in a dry and dark closet. 
• Meet Heather, an amazing quilter.. While she no longer blogs on this site the archives here will surely tickle your quilting sensitivies.
