My DMIL hand pieced DWR quilt top in the 1940's. She said I could have it. When her kids were cleaning out the house, they found it in a drawer tied up in a blue ribbon. That was sometime inthe 90's. It is still packed away along with vintage fabric in a special suitcase. I want to hand quilt it, but never got the confidence to do it, maybe next year.
I started three quilts around 1996 which still aren't finished. I have moved six times since then, was a full time student for four years, and spent four months in a rehab center for acute lung disease ('08-'09). I am just happy that I finally have a quilting room again and am able and have time to quilt. I am doing better this year finishing up tops and sending them to a LAQ. I have also done some on my Pfaff.
