I’ve often wondered about just what happens to my quilts once gifted, so it was a nice surprise to see this old one again.<br />I have heard of lots of stories where the quilt has not been loved and/or used, makes me really cherish those vintage quits that actually survive ... They are my inspiration! <br />Linda @ kokaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942832808800906728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-7502792541052909082018-08-13T16:09:22.831+12:002018-08-13T16:09:22.831+12:00It is always fun to revisit a gifted quilt.

I recently did this with a quilt I made almost 17 years ago for my cousin's daughter. Returned to me for repair. A new job for me but I was quite happy with the result, as I wrote about on my blog.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139897702169696195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-31797807504578851392018-08-13T01:27:47.994+12:002018-08-13T01:27:47.994+12:00there is no other person that quilts in my family ...there is no other person that quilts in my family now that aunt is not with us any longer and she started quilting late in life after I did.

There’s no quilting tradition in my circle of family and friends. They just don’t get it ;-)dutchcomforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986021480546345435noreply@blogger.com
