I know there is Habit Humanity here but never heard od their restore store! Will check it out! Thanks! OR contact a local builder, and ask them if you can have an old window they have replaced? |

I love they way the dark of your countertop makes them "pop" Have you thought about using a black (or navy) background and then using a patchwork border to frame the dark?

If I had them, I would definitly mount them and frame them somehow because they look quite fragile, to me and would not last long as a runner or topper that would suffer from normal use.

Looking at your hearts, it's my guess that someone was going to throw out some old quilts, and someone else said "No- I love those old quilts and I can use them" and started a project she didn't know quite how to finish with the hearts. |
The more I think about it ....that is probably what happened. Maybe even did a project with their hearts and this is what was left over. I had to redo a little of the hand quilting stitches because they came out ...probably came loose when they cut the hearts out of the quilt. Maybe I should have just left it the way it was...more original but I did try to make the stitches exactly the same bigger and uneven stitching..that wasn't hard for me :0). It's exciting for me to wonder how and who did these vintage quilt projects back then. What was going through their minds. Maybe some day someone will be wondering about our projects! Going to search for one of those windows.
