Old Meets New ~ 2013

My Mom has been gone 18 years now.  
As I was cleaning out more 'gotta-keep-it' bins, I discovered negatives. 
Amongst them I found a couple of quilt pictures. 
A perfect way to start this year's blogging;  showing a couple of her creations. 



She only patched from scraps, which is probably why I lean towards scrappy quilts; 
I suppose it's also out of respect for who she was. 

I still have one unfinished patchwork top of hers that I will (eventually) complete with batting and backing - it will be a "combination quilt" - old meets new. 


Unlike the picture I've included here ^^ which as far as I can see are made from (yikes) fortrel, the quilt top I have is made of cotton or cotton blend fabrics.  :)

  1. What lovely memories, and it's so nice that you will have a quilt made by both you and your Mom.
