My, My, it takes your breath away. Just to be able to hand stitch like that, what a dream. I love Moon Mullins, so cute. My dad use to talk about him a lot and I remember the cartoon in the GRIT. Thank you so much for sharing.

Blessings,
Ruth

Pzazz, just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed seeing your pics of the antique quilts, what a treat!!!!! I have never seen anything like these in person. I love the old ones and these are just fabulous!! I love that handle on the basket made of several fabrics, so pretty, and the scrappy/checks quilt is to die for!! I would love to know what the pattern is, do you happen to know what the design is called?
Thank you so much for sharing, I am so inspired by these!!!!!!!!!!!!
