I haven't been blogging or quilting or getting my household chores done even. Life is good but really busy right now. Tuesday night I made the pants part of a costume for my grandson who is a lion in his 2nd grade play...Circus, Circus. He has lines and gets to sing a little solo. Can't wait for the performance day! I have no pictures of the costume as I was working on it past midnight and the pants were delivered early the next morning. Sleep trumped a photo session! It was fun to be finally sewing something!
Here is a picture of a quilt top I found in 1986 in my grandmother's closet after she had passed away. I am not sure if she made it or where it came from or when it might have been made. She was mainly a knitter although I think she sewed a little when she was younger. There are several pretty appliqued tulip blocks. Most of the quilt top is in good shape and I am thinking of taking the blocks apart and resetting them somehow. The plan is not really worked out in my head yet. (Hey, it's only been in my possession 25 years! Don't rush me!)
But here is some fabric I found recently that might work with the blocks in some fashion.
Pretty good match, huh?
:o)

The tulip quilt is beautiful. What wonderful hand stitching! I love the red on the white and the colors are not even faded. Beautiful.
what a great idea to reset your grandmothers quilt & that fabric will probably look great as a border. make sure to post pics of your grandson in his handsome costume.
Lovely quilt, perfect match!
me again...i changed my profile
