Janice, A Happy Birthday to you!! What does the letter say on your treadle irons? |
Nanna-up-north,
This might be too nosey but will ask anyways! Where in the UP are you? I live in the UP full time. I bought an old treadle to take out to camp but still haven't cleaned it etc. I live in Newberry. Just wondering! Jan |
Hi Monica, Yes, I stitched the quilt block completely by hand. Long story short, a long time ago I took a quiltmaking class at the Cotton Patch. It was a class on Quiltmaking by Hand, from start to finish, the old fashioned way. I found it very relaxing and enjoyable.

Poor cabinet, looks like duck tape attack. Looking forward to using Glenn's tutes to cleanup this sad cabinet. |
Janice, Did you look up the history on your Deocrah Posten?
Here is some interesting trivia taken from http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/pubs/nas/...27/vol27_5.htm "In the 1890s, Decorah-Posten also arranged with a sewing machine manufacturer to sell his product under the name Husvennen (The Friend of the House). Through what likely was one of the most original offers ever made by a newspaper, a person could receive Decorah-Posten for one year and a sewing machine at a bargain price of $22.25. Women referred to Husvennen, which the paper sold for many years, as “the Decorah-Posten sewing machine.” They ordered needles and parts under that designation." |

Next is Janis! She appliqued these little fish! Such a neat job![ATTACH=CONFIG]343657[/ATTACH] She did a school of fish! I quilted the fish with stitch in the ditch! I hope you aren't mad at me Janis! You did such a great job with the needle turn!

Now JabezRose, Pamela! I used FM quilting to outline the motifs in her block! I loved the diversity of all these blocks! I was so glad they weren't all the same fish![ATTACH=CONFIG]343658[/ATTACH]
