Default From Don-isewman-I've done it again

Just to let you know, I've done it again. I wont go into a long story. My grdaughter from out east is here, for a week. My x-wife and her husband from florida is here also. I will let yous know. We are still friends. No friction between us. Anyhow, Ed-her husband, are cleaning out the house his parents lived in. They come across 10 1920's quilt blocks. Ask me if can do anything with them. I was told they belonged to his great grdmother.. After buying t-shirt stablizer, I did get something figured out. Those blocks were a disaster. Out of sq, and everythings else you can imagine. This is what I came out with. And some of the hand stitching. They said they will pay me $250.00 to do what, I can and hand quilt it also Take care everyone Don-isewman[ATTACH=CONFIG]479539[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]479540[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]479541[/ATTACH]Each block has a family's name

I follow all your entries to this board and think your work is phenomenal. You must really be awed at being able to touch such history...my dad was born in 1921. Thanks for sharing./lissa

That's wonderful! Good of you to do that for them- old blocks should be treasured, no matter how cockeyed they seem to be. And your quilts always turn out fabulous!
