"QUILTS"



'Ask not what your fabric can do for you, but what you can do for your fabric."

"A bed without a quilt is like a sky without stars."


"Those who sleep under a quilt, sleep under a blanket of love."


"Before Prozac, there was quilting."

  4. These are just gorgeous, BJ! I used to collect old quilts I would find at antique shops, unfortunately my kids loved to use them and dragged them all over the house until they were beyond repair. I should have just kept them on my quilt rack with a DO Not Touch sign! Yours definitely would make some very pretty cards!

    XO,
    Jane

  7. I LOVE quilts. I have one on my bed year round. I have a couple that are store bought, but my favorites are the ones I have that were made by my Grandmother and Great-Grandmother.
    Your quilts are beautiful!

  20. I have to be the world's greatest quilt lover. I have way too many,vintage and new. I do not sleep with them next to me. I have a blanket between. I am very protective of my quilts. Do not overdo it.

  24. Pretty quilts. I just love quilts. Especially the kind that were made by an ancestor with scraps from dresses I recognize. They seem to tell a story bring back fond memories.

  27. BJ,
    Nothing is more comforting than to snuggle under a thick comforter (quilt) and take a little nap!!!
    Gorgeous photos!!!
    Fondly,

  29. BJ: I just love your quilt and those are some cute quilt sayings. Your quilt blog reminded me that I have a quilt I would like to use.

    I have a quilt problem, hope you can help me. I inherited a quilt that my mother had won in a raffle. It is a beautiful quilt that mom used on her bed. Unfortunately she stained it with her blood when she was dying of pancreatic cancer. That was ten years ago. I would like to use it but have no idea how to clean it. My question is "How do I get ten year old blood stain out of the quilt?"

    Hope you or one of your blog friends can help. I would love to post mom's quilt in my blog once it is clean and free of blood.

  30. Oh BJ what a beautiful quilt. The fabric is great - have some of the same fabric. I just love quilts. I gave my neighbor tons of material as I had a fabric store here at my house and was decluttering. Barbara makes lap quilts for the veterans hospital or seniors so I thought she would use the material - and she does. She has a quilting machine.

    I was in the hospital and iI got out she gave me a beautiful quilt for my bedroom that she had made from my material.

    But I really like yours a lot!
    Hugs
    Mary

  35. The quotes are perfect and I believe them all. (Except for the last one...I'd need prozac if I did too much quilting.) What a wonderful idea for note cards! Thanks for participating even in the middle of all that's going on in your world.

  36. I love your quilts! As you know I have just discovered quilting in the past year or two and I just love how pretty they make a bed look. So many colors and styles to choose from, I have a bunch in various stages of completion! Seeing your gorgeous 9 patch makes me want to make one just like it:>)

  44. Forgot to mention that when I turn off Word verification I get dozens of advertisements a day. I hate using it but don't know how to stop the ad's. Sorry.
