First QOV for 2017

You may have heard that Alycia is having a link-in / link-up / connect-a-post.

So if you've finished a Quilt of Valor top or are working on a QOV, it's time to show your work.     
Since I only bought one yard of the blue fabric, on sale, my borders came out a bit narrow.  Ah well, it's perfect for someone having to use a wheelchair.

For those of you who adore studying and owning antique quilts, over the next few days I'll be sharing several pictures from Jill's shop.

To contact Jill, search for Linger Awhile Antiques / Murphy, NC , on Facebook.  She'll be happy to tell you the size, age, and price of the items I'll be sharing.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

No doubt you've heard the story about,

The little ol' quilter who lived in a shoe, she had so many baggie projects she didn't know what to do!

It's a biography by the way.

 This is the first box I tackled.  The hardest part will be the 3 bags of triangle pieces, all different sizes.  What to do?  Any suggestions?

Tonight I opened this one, which, I'm afraid, is going to take awhile.

Up on the design wall, this represents one empty baggie, 144 hourglass squares begun about 9 years ago.  Behind it are 2 more smaller quilt tops in the works.  That's 3 empty baggies in one week, yippee.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Quilty goodness

Another winner.

 This aging beauty is currently being mended.  It seems the blocks with madder colors have disintegrated the most.

 The blocks' side strips are less than 1-1/4" wide.

 Does anyone recognize this pattern?

 The store owner is very creative in her pattern choices.

We're having another rainy and COOL day here in the south.  Thank goodness!  We need the rain and Dolly and I really appreciate the cool.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Treasure Hunt!

Here are some pictures of an incredible quilt found at a new-to-me store in town.

 Very tiny finished squares, about 7/8th of an inch.

 Isn't the border wonderful!

Later this week, I'll share more pictures from this shop.  It's so nice to welcome another quilt lover to town!

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
