Show and Tell Friday
It is show and tell Friday at Kelli's http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ I wanted to share this antique crib at Ocracoke Island where we vacationed last week. I thought it was so cool. It had a screening type thing on the sides.

Neat crib, I haven't seen one like that before. I know you are getting excited about your new grandson's arrival!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!

I like the crib. My great Aunt had one that was iron painted white that I always loved and hoped she'd give to me. I know a baby couldn't sleep in it because the bars were too far apart but I still wanted it. I love the quilt. Some of the blocks I am unfamiliar with.

What a lovely vacation you had - and what a beautiful quilt! I'm reading Jennifer Chiaverini's books right now, so though I don't quilt, I am enjoying learning much more about that craft.
ReplyDeleteThe poignant story about your in-laws was very touching! I do not look forward to the day when one or both of my parents are in this position.
Thank you for visiting me and for your kind comments.
ReplyDeleteAs to quilting: The first quilt I made was a Little Dutch Girl applique that I made for my daughter years ago. My Mom helped and we hired someone to do the quilting. Next, I made a TV quilt for my first grandson. A neighbor gave me the instructions. I tied that one. I made 3 more of those in twin size and hand quilted them. These were the Rail pattern and they were sewn all around and turned before I quilted.
I bought the book for the one I call the elm creek sampler after reading the first book Jennifer Chiaverini wrote. I bought the material in 2003 and am just now getting around to working on it. I decided to take these classes recently and bought the new machine. I have learned so much. So yes you can learn on your own but there are a lot of tips others can give you in class. For instance, until yesterday, I thought the polyester batting I was using was all there was out there. There are a lot of blogs about quilting and they have been a big help to me. I'm teaching my daughter what I learn. I'd be glad to help you any way I can.
Most local quilt shops have classes.
