And the "sleepy" bug bite me today--
I have these days sometimes--
where I get soo sleepy that no matter what time it is--I just have to go back to bed for awhile!!
But I did work on this quilt some more today--
Only have one more of those white blocks to do--
but then there are some half white blocks along the sides and I still have all those flying geese blocks on the border--but-----!!!!
and I did finish my Novel--and that is a novel in itself--
book is=="i'd know you anywhere" and is by Laura Lippman--
really enjoyed it as was alittle different--just a read good read--
I like those kind of books!!!
BUT-- I did not get my laundry done today---sooooo!!!!
a quilt story--
I do not believe that I showed you my Christmas gift ---
to me -- from me!!!!
I had found this "OLD' quilt at the shop on the hill a few months ago--
and I could not forget about it--
I had some one look at it who knows old fabrics and she said it was definitely a 1920-1930's quilt and that it had been all hand done--
look at those stitches--
And here is the back--I love the back as much as I love the front--
just look at those tiny neat stitches--
someone put a lot of time and love into this quilt--
and I just love owning it!!
this is the first old quilt that is all put together that I have ever owned--
I did pay a good price for it--but not near what it really is worth!!!!
the whole quilt is in excellent condition too!!!
Hope you have a happy-warm-dry week end--
and don't forget to just relax some too this week end!!!!

Very nice present to yourself. Course you have been very busy with your tiny little stitches too. You will be all done soon.

That is one BEAUTIFUL quilt!!! WOW!
Beautiful quilt! I've had a couple of those sleepy days lately. It does interrupt the day but it is necessary sometimes when you just can't keep your eyes open any longer.
Reading is always a good way to spend the day - even if it does cut into quilting time and even better if it cuts into laundry time!! That is a beautiful quilt you bought yourself - what a find!!
What a great find, it looks as though your new-old quilt has found an appreciative home. Good luck with your own hexie quilt, look forward to watching it grow.
Oh la la.. this is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It's beautiful! - look at those stitches. I'm so happy you found it, bought and have it now to enjoy!
