A few Quilt Photos


In our olden days - before electricity and indoor plumbing - quilts were made to be used, not hung on the wall. They were made with bits and scraps of feed bags and clothing that couldn't be handed down anymore. String Quilts. They were lovely and they were useful. Quilts were sometimes made by groups of women for a wedding gift, that gift to keep the couple warm.

My quilts are made from scraps - some call them String Quilts. (Shoe string - as in thrifty) They are colorful in a helter-skelter sort of way. I make them to be used - to be worn out using. These pix are of queen sized quilts. The interior stitches are machine. The exterior top stitching is done by hand. Yes, I will make them any size and in any color group. I always have fabric scraps.
