It sounds like she grappled for years with the idea of giving them away, but she made the right choice. That blanket actually looks nice just where it is in your very tidy garage. :) I'm sure you will salvage much of it and make many wonderful things.Tammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307328535462685153.post-67699887534560692972016-08-18T04:25:32.541-05:002016-08-18T04:25:32.541-05:00So many quilts with lovely color combos...I got so...So many quilts with lovely color combos...I got so curious who made them, devoted their time to finish them.

I am amazed at how beautiful the colors are in such a worn piece of fabric. Color, like music, is something that lasts and can be appreciated, all the years of our lives!<br />Good luck with your "job".<br />Blessings, and I'm looking forward to the end of September ;^)<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307328535462685153.post-29628491727646889692016-08-05T05:20:25.190-05:002016-08-05T05:20:25.190-05:00This kind of story annoys me.

I'll be interested to see how this story continues though.<br /><br />The other day when several of us were visiting my father in law, my mother in law came out of the back room carrying a bracelet. A chain thing, very inexpensive. Like out of a Cracker Jack Box 100 years ago. She handed it to my BIL who is 72. She announced that she had been saving it for him since it was given to him by a neighbor when he was a little boy. She new he wouldn't take care of it so she kept it safe. REALLY!?! He told her he didn't want it.<br /><br />She did this same thing to Terry, only his was a "RUBY" ring. She had told us about the ring for MANY years. About 5 years ago she presented the ring to him. A cheap piece of glass in a broken setting given to him all that time ago by the same neighbor.<br /><br />Funny how some people think.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307328535462685153.post-50378576436613458382016-08-05T04:38:50.837-05:002016-08-05T04:38:50.837-05:00I don't think I would even know where to begin...I don't think I would even know where to begin.

I'm ...What a lot of work went into that quilt! I'm curious; was it hand pieced or machine? I have two quilts my maternal grandmother Frances Towne of Balaton, Minn. pieced and quilted. One is a double wedding ring. It's in great condition except for some fading. It happened after my Mom let my youngest daughter use it for her newly decorated room. I had no idea it would fade (1930's fabric-what WAS I thinking!)....LouAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819960353792266334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307328535462685153.post-1902319625323612082016-08-03T21:49:09.886-05:002016-08-03T21:49:09.886-05:00I am eager to see what you do with the quilts.
