yes your right, the way this all got started was grandma gave me a treadle, so in turn i wanted to make a quilt for her and used the treadle to piece the top doing that wasnt easy but i learned alot through the process.

That's great Chris, so your quilt really tells a story. How cool is that!

CRH 01-10-2010 06:26 PM

Beautiful quilt Chris. Thanks for sharing. Love the pic of your grandma with the quilt. Lucky you to have gotten a treadle from her. Enjoy it!!

Oh genghis .. What a pretty lady she is. Her face just glows from joy.

The quilt is very pretty, so cheerful with all the flowers and sunny yellow in the sashings. Nice work, chris. I don't know if I could make a quilt on a tredle machine.
