Bessie it turned out very nice, I love redwork, have all the fabric & designs organized just need to have the time.
Bless you for finishing this one, my first concern would be the age of the fabric...or am I just a worry wart?

WOW!! What a treasure! I bet your DF loves it :D:D:D

From a fan of Redwork and hand embroidery, this is a true treasure. I love it.It is awesome...!!!

Beautiful. How wonderful to have such a historical quilt! I especially loved the reference to my very talented longarm quilter friend, Vivian. She does the most amazing work. Thank you for sharing.

It is so nice! :thumbup: :thumbup:

WOW, a beauty, one lucky friend for sure.

She was very touched by the gift, and I was so pleased to give it to her.

Vivian does beautiful long-arm quilting work, and I am so fortunate to have found her.

I was amazed at the great condition of the fabric after all these years. I soaked it in a vintage soak for apx 48 hours to remove all the stains and it cleaned up very well. As I mentioned the thread that had been used on the hem was the strongest thread I have ever seen. There was no pulling it to remove it so I literally undid each stitch one at a time. I thought I would never get through taking the thread out of that hem.

That's just amazing!
