I have been sellected to be the keeper of the Quilts .... and I love it ..it is my pleasure to do this .... Quilts from mid eighteen hundreds till now 4 generations of my mommas sise of the family quilts and my grandmother on my dads side made me a quilt in 1950 and I still have it ... and then there is one of mine ... hope you enjoy

THe quilts are all beautiful. I love the necktie quilt your mother made. Do you have a picture of the whole quilt? I'd love to see it.

That basket quilt is to die for!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D
You have such wonderful heirlooms!! TFS

yes I have several pictures of mommas tie quilt and I have pics of the one she did for my son and his wife will try to find and post them tomorrow she won ribbons for her tie quilts

What a perfect way to store them!!! They can be seen but protected! Much better that inside a closet.

I love the necktie quilt!

I 'store' my hand me down quilt that my Grandmother made on a bed so it doesn't get fold lines. It is under a store bought quilt to keep the sun off of it. When I have visitors, it magically appears and the visitors get to use it.

Don't know what I'd do if I had as many antique quilts as you have! I have enjoyed looking at them and would probably ewww and ahhh over them if I got to see them for real!

thanks for sharing the beautiful quilts with us

They are wonderful!!!

Thank you for sharing. I love the way you are preserving your family history.

wonderfull--thank you for shareing i would also like to see all of the necktie one

wow such great treasures...I too would love to see more of the neckties quilt...gonna help MIL made one out of FILs old ties

What a family legacy you possess!! They're all wonderful, but I'm intrigued by the tie quilt!! Can't wait to see a full picture and any measurements that you can give, such as how much of the tie did she use. Hand stitched or machine, etc.

Basket quilts are a favorite of mine, yours is fabulous, such a treasure.

Beautiful Treasures :-D

I have never seen such a beautiful neck tie quilt....but they are all wonderful treasures!

Wow, you really have beautiful quilts as heirlooms. I especially like the tie quilt your mother made, it is really pretty.

Another Okie. YEAH!!! Your quilts are amazing! Just gorgeous. You are very fortunate to have them so you can admire them often. Such sentimental value there!!! Your quilt Chest is beautiful as well. I know you must be so proud of these beauties. Wouldn't it be grand if these older quilts could talk & tell about the process of it being made or about the maker? I have always thought that. Thank You for sharing.

I want to be the keeper of those quilts...They are so beautiful..

Those are all beautiful quilts, but the necktie quilt is absolutely gorgeous, like WANNABEE, I'd like to see the whole quilt if possible, I'll bet it's stunning.

I really love the necktie quilt!

I'd like to see it too. I think I am going to start collecting neckties!

what a heritage! I have a few family quilts and wouldn't part with them for anything.. =)

Such wonderful treasures! :)

What an awesome privilege to be keeper of the family quilts. I love them and love the displace case.
Where did you get the quilt cabinet you keep them in?

I got my quilt box from a very nice vendor at the quilt show in Oklahoma City in Jan. 4 years ago ..... I love it

Treasures!!

my Mother would be so happy.... this was her first quilt .... she sewed every tie on by hand all the embrodery work took her about 6 months to do .... she improved as she worked she did about 10 tie quilts in her last years one for each grandchild ... and gave me her original .... later today will lay it out on the floor and post pics of it and close ups of the edges .... think she is where I got my love for crazy quilting

I will post pics of my first try at crazy quilting soon too ... I used two ties and made a pillow top ..... I love it but have so many pieced quilts to make and so little time to do it in ....lol

awesome quilts

They are wonderful. Enjoy them.

Beautiful, beautiful...thanks for sharing.. :thumbup:

Where did you get the quilt case with glass top & front?

Gorgeous! Love them all!

You are so fortunate to have all these quilts and such a history of family quilting. Hope there are others with the same passion waiting in line to care for them.

Wow!

Lucky you.... I would love just to see them in the "flesh" let alone be the keeper!

Hugs

Lucky you. Make sure that you have these treasures insured.

got the case from a vendor at the Jan. Oklahoma City Quilt Show about 4 years ago ... I am going this weekend will look for him again ... if I find him will post his address here

They are all a treasure for you to keep! I would also like to know how the neck tie quilt is done - I have a box of my Dad's ties and haven't decided what to do with them.
Janie

Very pretty, you are lucky to get to take care of them. What a treasure trove you have.

Momma made her own pattern she took the ties apart and folded them to make the star in the center then she cut some in half to make the next round then she pieced the rest to make it a square and then baisted the pieced part together then embroidered it all together ... then added the pretty work as she called it .... glad you enjoyed the pics
