I wish I didn't have my pictures on my phone. I will try to get them over to my computer so I can post them. This quilt is in very bad shape. I mean, thread bare. I've done those types of repairs before and while it's not my favorite thing to do, it is cool to see something come back to life and the recipient so happy. *sigh* Still, it's going to need a full backing, binding and the front will need new borders and sashing. The hardest part is the restoration of the blocks themselves. I have to create templates for everything. The main blocks had appliqued houses with trees and the houses are outlined with embroidery floss plus embroidered windows and doors. That is going to be the time consuming part. I'm thinking of "cheating" and using my machine to do that part. That would save them money and my sanity as embroidery is not really my "thing".

I'll see about those pictures....
