like, fry egg on the sidewalk hot. And no, this is not a "dry" heat...humidity 35%...that means the lens of my camera fogs up almost immediately! And it doesn't look like we'll be getting a break anytime soon!
So I will be in my room quilting.
I would like to be washing these two new-to-me denim and chambry quilts that I got at the estate sale. I washed one basket quilt last weekend and it after 12 hours outside...it was still wet! It's that darn humidity! grrr. The denim quilts would never dry out there!
I did put them outside face down to get some sun and a breeze. Really helps get some of the old-quilt-smell out. Not sure how these were stored and they were a bit musty.
These quilts came from the same estate sale, have some of the same fabrics (sort of has a look of the Cherrywood fabrics), similar quilting style and stitches, and have pieced backs of similar fabric. Both have good workmanship. Very good chance they were made by the same person.
I bought the churndash on Saturday. Then on Monday I got a call from the folks running the estate sale. There were a few more quilts and they were going to send them off to a charity. I could make an offer on any of them if I was interested. Yes, it was 101 degrees out...but I went anyways. I had not seen the one-patch at the sale earlier (they had used it as a backdrop for some furniture.)
Since I had the churndash I had to bring home the one patch! Each is a nice quilt but together they really are striking. They are in need of a bath though...hoping for a break in the heat soon!

I love the blue color in these quilts. What a score!
Both quilts look wonderful! I like the one patch especially.
Lovely quilts so glad you rescued them. Hope you get a break from the summer heat and humidity soon.
Great buys! They would really decorate a room nicely together!
I don't know how you stand that humid heat. We will be in the 90s this week, but we are very dry--and I still don't handle it well.
I like that one row of brown in the one patch (or is that faded?). And LOVE the dragonfly--so pretty! We had TORRENTIAL rains here today and suppose to have rain tomorrow so those quilts wudda never dried here!! LOL
Eeek, that's wayyyy too hot! Your quilt acquisitions are marvelous finds! So glad that you took both, but the Churn Dash is already my personal favorite.
man, I long for 35% humidity. we're at 58% today, but low 90's at least. glad you got the fun quilts.
