Thank you again, so very much and a big thank you to your "random number man" for pulling my name out of the mix! <br /><br />I was looking at this beautiful vintage quilt and thinking how easy we quilters have it today. We have so many wonderful tools to make our quilting much easier than those amazing women of an earlier time, when every piece was scissor cut, every stitch by hand and the items of clothing and the bits of extra 'store bought' fabrics collected until to make these wonderful quilts. Another thought was that most of the vintage quilts were large as they were made to be used on beds. I can't help but wonder what some of these great ladies would think if they dropped by our homes today and saw all the 'little quilts' we make simply to decorate, or if they got a glimps of our sewing areas. Putting all these factors together makes their quilts even more beautiful in my eyes. <br /><br />I know there are many ladies that still make their quilts completely by hand and it just takes my breath away. Even if I had full use of my hands, I would still use all my wonderful quilting notions and tools that make the process so easy. Thank you for sharing the vintage quilts. I always visualize the ladies around the quilting frame working together to finish these beautiful pieces. Amazing!<br /><br />Okay, well I got off to a windy start didn't I? LOL...I can't wait to see your retreat photos and hear about all the fun goings on!<br /><br />Thanks again, so very much for the giveaway. I will also be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for some relief frommthe flooding in your area.
