A highlight of my visits to Texas are the quilts in Michael's family. Both of his sisters have a wonderful collection and his father has quilt's made by family members in Pennsylvania from the 19th century. It's so exciting to 'visit' two of the quilts made with 'real' Civil War fabrics. Here are photos I took this trip of both of the quilts now in Texas...
Pics of tops, both are scrappy...
In this photo you can see a few of the fabrics have worn away. Thankfully it's only a few areas with most of the fabrics in very good condition! Colors are vibrant as the quilts have had minimal handling. They have been stored and used off and on.
(NQR) We have fires in the area with smoke filled skies this morning. So unusual with snow falling elsewhere in the USA including the panhandle of Texas today! My Mom is not doing well, last night was not a good one and I missed going to a quilt guild meeting. Life is a bit frustrating right now.
Have a great weekend, hope it includes some quilting! I know I need it. Thinking of joining in a
QAL with Lori at Humble Quilts or a quick May Mystery project at Aunt Reen's Place...
Easy as 1, 2 3 Thanks for stopping by :0)
