Many of you know that my Mom and Step Dad were coming on Father's Day. (they made it and now are on their way back home) :cry: Anyways, I had made the quilt for my Step Dad as he is always doing things for me since DH can't.
They brough with them these beautiful quilts.. all made by his Paternal Grandmother around 1950 or so.

He also made my 4000D set into the table top (I used my old dining room table). So now when I do quilting it'll be nice and flat... He also did something for my serger (no pic yet), but will share that later..

Here's the quilts.. they're in excellent conditon. I'm asking for a Quilt ladder for my b/d. Only 3 more months to wait! *L*

2 more quilts.

The quilts are beautiful and what a treasure your step Dad is to share them with you. Can't wait to see them hanging on your new quilt ladder.

Wow, Tuesy!!! You've been much blessed!!! The quilts are all beautiful, I especially like the ladies one! And what your dad's done with your sewing table is really nice!! :D :D

how wonderful of your parents to give you these quilts.

I love those quilts!!!

Those are fantastic quilts!!! You are one very lucky girl....the quilts...the table...and an upcoming quilt ladder.... :lol: :lol:

What wonderful gifts! You will really like having the sewing machine set down in your table!

How lucky you are to have those quilts gifted to you!
And to have a handy man come to visit as well!
Congratulations!

Wow -- what wonderful gifts!!! I love all 3 of them!! Your machine set up is awesome!!

Those quilts are beautiful. As far as I know, no one in my family quilted, until me, so I will never Inherit such a treasure, at least from family. So glad your folks got to visit and so nice of your "Dad" to make that desk into a sewing table!!!

That was so sweet of him. Great concept.

The quilts.......don't think I can pick the ones I like best. I'll take them all! :wink:

They will look stunning in a quilt ladder. How fast can three months go by??

and how did he react to the beautiful quilt you made him??

Wow!!!!! That was sweet of him.

Those are really beautiful quilts, and your parents are obviously the very best. I know you treasure them even more than the quilts, which are priceless heirlooms!

How sweet your stepdad is. He is one special person to give you his grandmother's quilts. What was her name? Is it on the quilts? I hope he told you all about her. Those are the stories at are passed on with the quilts for the future generations that are so neat to hear. And the reason some of us make these, to be remembered fondly, with smiles. If he didn't, maybe he could write you all the information and send it to you.

I love the way he set in your machine. You are going to be able to manuver much easier with your quilts now, for sure!

Awesome!
I'm in love with the quilts!
Can I be adopted?? ;)

So way cool. :D

The quilts are beautiful. You are so lucky to have family heirlooms.

Wow! What a great step dad you have! Those quilts are beautiful. He must think a lot of you to give you heirlooms from his family. And that's a nice setup for your sewing machine.

Yes, how did dad like his quilt???
Those are wonderful quilts....can see them hanging on your new ladder, too!!!
Love what dad did with the insert, awesome!!!

Beautiful quilts....he knows you will take care of them...sounds like a great man :D

How pretty!

Wow! What a treasure.

He gave me the biggest hug. Told me that no one had ever made him a quilt just for him.

Then after the table was done, Mom and him were giving me orders of what kinds of quilts they wanted next. *L* Mom wants a Memory quilt and he said he wanted a Flannel quilt. Guess I need to get busy!!

Thank you all for sharing in my joy. :D

beautiful gifts- he's knows you will appreciate them!

You have a wonderful step father! He sounds like an amazing person. The quilts are really beautiful. I'm sure the reason he chose you to give the quilts to is because he knows you will treasure them always!

Wow nice step Dad. the table looks great. The quilts are really lovely. Love the one with the girls in different colors. You are blessed that is for sure.

Oh, my---your quilts are beautiful!!! I have 5 old quilts that my grandmother made and I just love them. They look to be about the same era as yours.

And how sweet of your step dad to inset your machine for you. You are going to be a quilting whiz now!!

You're going to love having the machine set into the table - DH did mine, and what a difference!

What gorgeous quilts to receive as well! They are just beautiful!

The quilts are lovely and so is the table for the machine. What a great step-dad.

I have a few really old quilts and I treasure them. Yours are so nice, what a wonderful gift. He knew they were going to someone who would value them.

How wonderful to have such a great relationship with your Stepfather. My SIL is Stepfather to my Granddaughter and you'd never know he wasn't her biological Dad. It's such a blessing when families are like that. Those are magnificent quilts he brought you.

I have a technically, stepdaughter, but I raised her, and she is my daughter in every sense!
How wonderful to have a dad like that...ppl are ppl first, no matter, the 'technicalities'.
Awesome that you get the quilts, and your s. machine table is wonderful. So happy for you :D
