Default Interesting Article About Saving Antiques...

This lady has saved many antique quilts and writes about it here. After reading numerous threads on this board about this topic, I thought some members might be interested.

Fascinating!!! I must say though that I don't like machine quilting on antique blocks

It was an interesting article.

I tend to miss really good things in "Links and Resources" because I forget to look in this section.

I am glad i saw it.

I am still of the opinion that not all quilts (or new quilt tops, or partially done projects) need to be rescued, renovated, and/or repaired, but the author of that article did wonderful work on all those pictured.

True, about rescue, but she apparently has decided to make this her goal. I do wonder how many she has seen that were nixed.

Wow, thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed that article. I may take on the quilt from my maternal grandmother and try to rescue it.

I usually don't stop to explore links, but this one is TERRIFIC! What a great resource for those of us who wonder what to do with old quilts that are laying around. She has several great projects to show and she approaches each one so individually, depending on what is needed. I may get around to working on those 2 old quilts yet!! Thanks for the inspiration.
