Quilt Showcase: Grand Old Gal

  1. What a wonderful story! I have washed quilts in a bathtub using the method described here. To dry each one I laid a fresh white sheet on the lawn in my backyard then put the quilt on it. It dried quickly because the lawn helped air circulate underneath. Has anyone else tried this?

  2. I would appreciate full names so that we can fully credit the women who worked on this. Marcia S?, Linda G?

  3. This is such a beautiful story of love for quilting. Thank you to Marcia and Linda for trusting each other to bring a beautiful piece back to life. Thank you to Dianne for focusing on this quilt.

    Remember when we used to focus on one of our members each month? MPS is a very talented group and a generous group willing to share with each other.

  4. Wouldn’t it be story to know about all the fabrics and how the quilt was pieced! I appreciate our MPS guild blog focusing on a quilt each month – look forward to the next quilt.

  5. So glad it was able to be restored. If that quilt could talk about its history. Just as an FYI…I have an acquaintance who also wanted a quilt restored. Lo and behold, our dear Miki L does this as part of her business (Enchanted Rose Emporium) . I had a very interesting conversation with Miki about the process. Kim T.

    1. I would love to learn more about the process of restoration or identification of old or damaged quilts as part of a quilt college presentation.
