THe quilts are all beautiful. I love the necktie quilt your mother made. Do you have a picture of the whole quilt? I'd love to see it.

That basket quilt is to die for!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D
You have such wonderful heirlooms!! TFS

yes I have several pictures of mommas tie quilt and I have pics of the one she did for my son and his wife will try to find and post them tomorrow she won ribbons for her tie quilts

What a perfect way to store them!!! They can be seen but protected! Much better that inside a closet.

I love the necktie quilt!

I 'store' my hand me down quilt that my Grandmother made on a bed so it doesn't get fold lines. It is under a store bought quilt to keep the sun off of it. When I have visitors, it magically appears and the visitors get to use it.

Don't know what I'd do if I had as many antique quilts as you have! I have enjoyed looking at them and would probably ewww and ahhh over them if I got to see them for real!

thanks for sharing the beautiful quilts with us

They are wonderful!!!

Thank you for sharing. I love the way you are preserving your family history.

wonderfull--thank you for shareing i would also like to see all of the necktie one
