A Special Ladies Project at Stonethrow
Posted: Sun Sep 02, 2012 8:08 pm
I've been tossing this idea around for some time and thought I'd see what the ladies thought about this:
I have 3 quilts that my Grandmother made (possibly one by my Great-Grandmother) all 3 are in poor to very poor shape Most folks would probably just toss them out but I can't bring myself to do that so... I thought since I have the old quilting frame of my Grandmothers why not put them on the frame and let everyone install a quilt patch or two? We might get one repaired or maybe even 2. I can get pictures if I need to and post them here. I couldn't tell you what the pattern is but I'm sure some of you ladies will know. It would be a real honor to have all you ladies (and guys) to have a part in restoring these quilts.
Let me know if you all think this is a resonable project?
Thanks
Ron
