 Doing some Spring Cleaning today.
I inherited this quilt when my Granny passed away. I've had it on a wall hanger for about 5 years. I enjoyed seeing it, it's like looking at Fabric Art!
My Granny would want me to use it. She and her Sister and Sister-in-law quilted it in the 1950's.
I took it down today, washed it and put it on my bed along with some hand Crochet pillow cases my neighbor's mom made many years ago.My neighbor knows I love vintage so she gave me a whole
Box of vintage linens.I just love them. I cannot crochet! I've tried and tried!

Oh Connie, I love your double wedding ring quilt.. and I agree, use it! snuggle up with it...don't be afraid to get cookie crumbs on it!
Like you, I too love vintage linens.. tattered & torn or in pristine condition..
They tell a story, some are family stories and some are mysteries.. but stories none the less..
Thanks for sharing them with us...

Oh Connie,
What treasures you have. The quilt and the pillow cases are gorgeous and I bet it feels like you are sleeping under very special hugs.

Beautiful linens! Don't feel bad about not being able to crochet, at least you tried. For a long time all I could crochet was mitten strings, now I've graduated to wonky shaped t shirt yarn rugs.

What a lovely gift from your grandmother and neighbor. I tried that teeny tiny crochet too and can't do it either.

Beautiful wedding ring quilt and pillow cases. I have several crocheted pillow cases my mother or grandmother made. I love the feel of them on the pillows.
