There are three styles of quilts that I would like to add to my collection and I was "holding out" for one of the those. Well, only found a couple of blocks. So then I decided on another quilt but when I went back it was gone!
So when the auction started I decided I'd get one that wasn't on my "list" but at least then I'd be donating to the Study Group. Well I bid on many and only came away with one. (it was so crazy that at one point Julie Silber, the auctioneer, was bidding for me....) I ended up with the last quilt of the auction! And a fan embroidered quilt at that! Not my usual style but I do like it. One of my sister's loves crazy quilts and this one is in very good condition. I think it may find its way to Massachusetts...
I didn't get much sewing done this weekend. Dh took lots of time. We finally went and got some new clothes for him that done require a huge belt to hold his baggy pants up (he went from a 40 waist to a 32!) He looked much better going off to work today. So now maybe I can get some work done....
It's a nice one. Victorian isn't "in" so much these days, I've heard, so it's a good time to collect it because the prices aren't as insane as they could be.

Oh, I think that is a gorgeous quilt! Not one I would ever make, but certainly something I admire!!
ReplyDeleteDH recently went through the exact size change, but mostly through strict dieting. The trick for him will be maintaining it. He LOVES food! Problem is, I love to cook.
Maybe they saved the best quilt for last, very nice fan crazy quilt.
