wow when are you going to find enough time to finish all of these!
Karen
My game plan is to live forever
What a delightful tour! Like being in a museum. Thank you, Tim.
Thanks Gerrie…that is still just the tip of the iceberg…more to come
OMGosh! All of these tops are stunning – what treasures! Love them all.
Thanks Faith…..I love collecting them….some day I hope to quilt them all
Holy smokes, what a great collection… All of them just gorgeous. LOVE the blue and white drunkard’s path that you made!
thanks Ann…so many quilt tops and ideas so little time
Hmmm, I’m thinking that you should really stop purchasing and concentrate on quilting. There aren’t enough years to get through all that you do have now. How old are you? Want some help quilting?
I cant stop!…when I see one that excites me I have to buy it….I am 46 so I have a few years of quilting left in me…I plan to live for at least 50 more years
Way to go! Collect as many as you want! I have more tops than I will ever do but they are safe with me and will not be cut up or become a dog bed or an oil rag! It is a “textile conservation” effort! What a legacy! I say keep it up if it makes you happy!
Thanks Barbara!
I will keep it up and when the time comes I will donate the collection
If it were up to me, I would finish the Seven Sisters quilt. Too beautiful to keep in a box. I love your work and think you are very talented.
Thanks
That is a beautiful quilt top…it needs a few repairs so it is on hold until I find a good matching antique fabric…I dont want to compromise and use a reproduction….but it will happen soon
