Quilt in the Frame

My goal today was to find a quilt top and liner to put in my new quilt frame. This top was made from 6 inch blocks that I machine stitched together. I had so much material at one time I just put together block quilts. This one is child themed. It is a twin sizeContinue reading “Quilt in the Frame”

Quilt Frame – Find of the Day

I have been sick with the flu since my birthday. I finally got myself out of bed and decided to go treasure hunting. I did not find any estate sales worth going to.

Naked on the Front Porch
