I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

FINALLY FINISHED DOLL QUILT TOP!!
This is a little quilt top that I made because I lost the real antique one on ebay.......think it went for about $178!! I wanted it because it was from Maine, but it was not be. So I made one........love the simple design!! Am now handquilting it...........will never be worth the time I am spending on it! But it is relaxing to quilt in the evening!
Very darling. How big was the original/this one? Great idea to make your own. I've seen so many on there in th past and wondered about recreating. Thanks for inspiring me .... Dont get online as much, but sure fun to watch those auctions! Xo
Love it :-)
ReplyDeleteLots of fabric ranges in this little Cutie
Enjoy the quilting
Cheers
Lynne
