and I think I may have just started something that I won't be able to stop. A new addiction.......oh no! Don't worry it's not alcohol.......never been a drinker.....I'm silly enough without it...lol! And it's not cigarettes.......very bad for your health. And it's certainly not gambling.......fabric is much more fun to spend my money on.
I have just purchased my very first antique quilt. I was on ebay the other day and was just mucking around and decided to search for hexagon quilts. Up popped a list and on the list was a 1930's Antique Hexagon Quilt.......with the exchange rate soooo good it was toooo good to pass up. So with a click or two of the mouse I had bought it! And today I picked it up from the post office.
So my collection begins.
My first Hexagon Quilt was made in 1978 (or thereabouts) by me when I was sweet 16.
My newest is in the quilting stage
and now my Oldest (1930's - maker unknown) looks like this
and a close up
It looks liked it is machine pieced but it has been hand quilted.
Do you think I need help or another Quilt to add to my collection?
Linda :)
Help, you certainly need help.
