    I love seeing your work on the vintage blocks. It is so good to see the blocks preserved and your work compliments them so....

    I love the old, vintage fabrics and blocks, and love what you did with them. You preserved another treasure that will now be around for an extended period of time, for the pleasure of future generations. Nice job !

    Just lovely! What a wonderful keepsake for the generations to come. When I look at those blocks, I realize they are as old as I am..................Only they look a lot better (smile). Thanks for sharing.

    Eddie, this is a reminder how how far the women of today have come from 1935. Back then, when a woman married, most school boards deemed that a she couldn't maintain both jobs and was asked/forced to quit her job. So women were forced to make choices, teach and be single or married and be a wife. Surprisingly, that is why there were a lot of ladies who chose teaching and stayed single. Now look at us, we comprise over 60% of the workforce. Thanks for sharing this beautiful quilt with us. Great workmanship.
