Heritage Keepsakes

Love these quilts! I bet there's 2 very happy little girls, that are keeping warm with these beauties.

Great advice Linda!

My sentiments exactly Kay!!With commitments later this year, it means Paducah next year is highly unlikely. But 2016 is looking like a possibility!!

Thanks Lyn, Both topics were brilliant and very helpful.

Thank you Lyn!! This has been an amazing topic to read through. The piecing prices per hour are a good reminder not to underprice how much our skills are valued at, should someone request a quilt from start to finish. Thanks Dave-Jane for starting such a good topic. It's certainly helped clear the water for me currently, having just had a request for a commission quilt from start to finish. Unfortunately the photos wouldn't open on my computer, but I bet the quilt that was the subject of this discussion was indeed beautiful.

This is seriously one piece of incredible art!!!! Stunning beyond words and when I read 1/2" squares, it blew my mind! I agree with Darlene, I think if Tom saw it, he'd pay a substantial price to acquire it. Congratulations on such beautiful work.

Congratulations Vicki !!! The quilt is beautiful.

I want a quilt like that on my bed!! Beautiful quilting Charlotte.

Love that quilting design on these quilts. You've done a beautiful job Kay.

Wow! Your quilting makes this quilt look really amazing!! I love it.

Congratulations Vickie.

Beautiful quilting Janette.

Man,... I'm off the forum for a couple of weeks because I've been way to busy to check in and look what I've nearly missed out on seeing!!!! This quilt is stunningly beautiful Charlotte!!

Both your quilts are beautiful, but your feathers.....mmmmm, I love them!!!!!!

Congratulations Dell, that's awesome!!

Oh boy, that is stunning!!! Your quilting is beautiful!

Wow!! I love it.

So sorry to hear about your loss Liam. May you gain much comfort knowing your many friends here on the forum, are thinking of you and your family at this time. Especially your Mum.

Wow, it looks fabulous!

Thank you Linda! Anything that involves condensed milk and I'm in!!

That's a good one, I love it!!

No probs Lyn, enjoy the cricket!!

Hi Phyllis and welcome to the forum! You've come to the right place for fun, inspiration and definitely support. Glad you've got Barb helping you along the way. ( I got to meet her myself last year at MQX, she's so lovely!) Look forward to seeing your quilting too.

Hi Everyone, Just a reminder, that our first gathering to kick start the new year is on January 18th. For those that aren't on the mail out list, drop me an email and I can give you the particulars of the day. As usual, it's shaping up to be another great day!! See you all soon.

James, I think you did an awesome job!! You have breathed life into this quilt top and now it can actually be used as a quilt, for which it was originally purposed to be. Because of you, this vintage quilt top will be preserved for many more years to come. What an heirloom to pass on to the next generation!
