I love your quilt. I have a passion for old embroidered linens and have a couple of drawer full. Some I use to make valances for my windows but this gives me a wonderful option. I love how you have high-lighted the artistry of those who spent a lot of time doing embroidery.

WOW! This is simply GORGEOUS!! I love how it is set on point too. It should bring in lots of $ :thumbup:

Your quilt is amazing in that it bridges the past (all that lovely embroidery and linens) and the present (the quasi-crazy quilt look). I love to see someone take these lovely things and create something that will continue to be admired. I am sad when I see them just sitting in the corner of an antique mall shop. Someone loved them when they made them-now someone can love them again as a quilt.

What a beautiful quilt. I love it! Hope this quilt brings tons! of money at auction. What a wonderful thing to donate to a great charity. Where in W. Tx. are you located? I'm also in W. Tx.

WOW lovely quilt, and a nice idea to use up the embroidered linens. Wishing you well on the auction and hope it brings in lots of money for the Bible camp. Good luck

I was taught 'Thou Shalt Not Covet', I have some repenting to do. Better yet I need to get busy and do one for myself. Love the use of embroidery, fabrics, the whole quilt is marrrrrvelous!

How can you bear to part with this quilt? I think it is a great treasure and would keep it and treasure it forever, or until I die, whichever comes first.

very pretty quilt. I love the vintage aspect and using what was left of things and repourposing them, I just love crazy quilts, the ultimate in scrap quilting. It's such a happy quilt

This quilt is totally adorable. The use of those vintage embroidery pieces with the vintage materials is perfect. The whimsy created with the crazy patch work suites this creation wonderfully.

Great job.
peace
