Yesterday, girlfriends and I attended the Vintage Tulsa Show. What great finds there were at the show. It was good seeing all the things at the show. While I didn't get any pictures, I did get a picture of these vintage Pyrex bowls. Although it seems like I can't imagine these being called "vintage" as I used them years ago in my kitchen. I think I probably sold them at a garage sale because something new and prettier came along. Who would know that in my lifetime they would be worth so much?
I did find some very pretty quilts that I did not get pictures of. There were many and none were the same pattern. It was difficult not bringing them home with me.
I did, however, come home with some vintage quilt tops.
This one looks like a modified Friendship Star in pinks, blues, yellows and pinks with muslin sashing.
Do you see this Double Wedding Ring? Gorgeous!
Then a beautiful Courthouse Steps in all kinds of pinks and a few corals with muslin. I just love the looks of these three quilt tops. I will team them up with a quality muslin backing to keep with the vintage nature of these tops and quilt them using "Stanley" our long arm quilting machine. They will be wonderful additions to my collection of vintage quilts.
I have also been working on my kite block quilt. Still making some adjustments to the construction of the block so that all the corners meet in just the right places. I have chosen some option fabrics for the preliminary selection. They should be in next week sometime. I can't wait until they get here so that I can try them out on this block. Making progress. I will keep you posted!
What projects have you been working on lately? Any new projects? UFO's? Share them here, I would love to see your work.
Have a great quilting week!
