MORE CAROLYN MILLER PENNSYLVANIA QUILTS

Dawn a/k/a Collector with a Needle posted additional photos on her blog of Carolyn Miller’s 19th century quilts recently displayed at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum.  Click HERE and HERE to see them.



I just realized today that the next group of Just Takes 2 blocks will be posted in a couple of days on August 1st.  And I haven’t work on any of the blocks this past week.  Yikes.  Better fire up my rotary cutter and sewing machine in those couple of days to attempt to catch up.

The other day Sweetie and I went to the big city, Fort Worth, for  little outing which included a visit to the Botanical Gardens where the roses were in bloom but fading somewhat.  Would love to have seen it a few weeks ago when they were in full bloom.

Then after looking at the roses we went on down to the Montgomery Street Antique Mall for lunch at the tea room and a little browsing.  I found this interesting quilt as we were leaving but stopped to take a picture.





It was made out of some kind of rayon or nylon fabric, it felt almost like satin but wasn’t.  Love the flowers inside the stars.  It was a nice flowery day all the way around.
