January 1, 2020

What bleeding, silk and Houston have in common

September 26, 2019

Oh a lot has happened since my last post on my Houston Auction donation quilt. After I left you last week, I blocked my quilt and set it in the sun to dry, a mere 2 hours in the sun. And the baby blue silk faded into a putrid color, ugh. Also, I apparently did […]

I give up! Perseverance does not always win.

March 20, 2019

I’ve written previously about this whole cloth quilt that I am obsessed with. Just to review, this is my inspiration: This quilt was made between 1830 and 1850, probably in the area of Marsielle, France, by an unknown maker.
