Thrift Store Find

Here's a lovely find from the thrift store sweep last week; this baby was $10! It is hand made, hand quilted and lovely. It needs a little tender loving care because of one small tear and a frazzled binding.

We were in the city thrift stores looking for rusted items for rust dyeing and some building supply items for my upcoming sales booth. We found everything we needed. Thrift stores are the best!

Florida Quilts

While in Florida last week I was able to attend the Killer Bees meeting on Wednesday and the Santa Rosa Quilters Guild on Thursday. Wonderful meetings!

My friend, Betty Brooks, had this quilt with her for show-n-tell. Betty pieces only by hand and did a wonderful job on this quilt...

At the guild meeting, the program was a trunk show of inherited quilts that one of the members had. They were all amazing and mostly made by hand. Lovely! Here are three of the treasures...

This next one is called Pickle Dish pattern, and it has incredibly tiny spike pieces...

There were also several Grandmother's Flower Garden quilts...

Wonderful trunk show!
