Welcome to my patchwork journal. I enjoy expressing myself through fiber. Tiny pieces of vintage quilt blocks and fabric combined with hand stitches create my art. When not quilting I'm living a patchwork life. Always changing and helping to keep me young and on my toes. Join me in my experiences and thoughts.

Estate Sale Find
I don't know the patterns name, but I love the colors and placement. I stumbled on to this full size quilt at an Estate Sale last weekend. The sale was outside and really cold. I stayed around for about 3 hours to bid on this quilt and so glad I did. The quilt is very old with a feed sack back. I believe some of the blocks are feed sack, too. There are no stains or tears with just a small about the fading on the back. Just a great vintage quilt to add to my collection. I love to think of the stories these old quilts can tell. The people they comforted through good times and bad. There is love in every stitch. Happy Quilting!
