Beautiful! Isn't it fun using all the vintage machines for just one quilt? Thanks for posting!
Yep, a quilt is just a quilt until you think about all the people power that made the quilt! I often wonder what my mother would have thought if she could see me now! She died 4 years ago, 6 days after my dad died - it sent me into a tailspin that lasted a couple years. I didn't ride, didn't sew, did nothing. Then I decided I better do something with the horses and I started to sew again! I know my mom learned to sew using a treadle - but, she'd probably think I was crazy to see me now with 9 treadles in the house and a total of 33 or 34 sewing machines! I would have loved to be able to share this with her.
