Monday night Penn Oaks Quilt guild had Madge Ziegler as a speaker. She brought a million antique string quilts that were amazing.
Unfortunately not a lot of my pictures turned out but I think you will like the ones that did turn out.
This one
and this one are new. Hope you enjoyed the show!

ReplyDeleteI love string quilts! How timely that you would blog about this now. Just yesterday I began string-piecing to create hexagons. Hopefully, it will be part of a border to give some life to a pretty plain Hawaiian appliqué, a UFO I hope to finish soon. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe string quilts have such a free spirit look. The new versions are very sweet too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous show of inspiring quilts!! You make me want to run off to my sewing room to start sewing scraps together!!!
