ME ME ME. I wish you had "bought up" a few and offered them on here. Should that happen ever again, please go get your checkbook...especially if they're in the "cheapie" range. I would love to run up on a few of those. I can't help it, I just love the old ones!

I buy vintage or antique tops, but after getting burned a couple of times, I'm kind of persnickety, now. ;)

I love quilting someone else's UFO from who-knows-how-many years ago. I wonder about her - why she didn't finish it, why this fabric was in her scrap basket, did it come out as pretty as she wanted it to?

One of the smallish quilts I got in a batch is a Jacob's ladder bar - it's got a crazy mix of fabrics in it and even the patches were pieced in places - this lady used every teeny, tiny, little bit.

I quilted it up and gave it to my father in law for Christmas for a nap quilt. He loves it as much as I do and says he "wouldn't take for it," which is a charming Southern way of saying that he wouldn't sell it for anything. Very sweet thing to keep in my heart. He's such a good Pa.

I bought an antique 9-patch top years ago.
I've been quilting it on and off using a large pieced back of repro fabrics
I know it diminishes the value but I didn't buy it for re-sale; I bought it to finish this long-gone quilter's work.

ME-----Buy and THEN think about where to put them, wish I had been there.

what a beauty...

I have quite a few I am going to have to start selling if the husband doesn't find a job soon.

Ooh, Grandma Cindy, no wonder you cried. I want to make a Crazy Quilt and am hoping our Quilt Class will do one sometime soon. Can you post a pic of this 1890's quilt for us?

Well, my mistake, it is needlegrammy who got the Crazy Quilt.... I'd still like to see a pic of it if she has one she can post. THANKS.

Its there, go back a few pages to see it...

Yard sale was already closed at 12:30!!!
(There WAS another quilter there when I was, someone the seller knew, who was taking at least some of them to a good home.)
