I’m still recuperating after weeks of prep for the Preserving Our Quilt Legacy workshop and then 5 Saturdays of teaching. It was a great group of students, full of eagerness and questions, and coming from many different backgrounds.
In this process, I finally got to editing a bunch of early slides that I had digitized a while ago. I’m sharing some of the favorite ones I rediscovered. Word to the wise: lots of these slides were taken in the 1980s, and more than a few had such color degradation that some I was barely able to edit back to reasonable colors, and some were unsalvageable. Don’t wait as long to digitize as I did!
In no particular order and just because I like them:
The first quilt I fell in love with, in an antique shop around the corner from where I was living in 1978-ish
Carolina Lily - one of my favorite blocks
Carpenter’s Wheel - green is my favorite color
LeMoyne Star - nice colors, nice layout
Feathered Star - I absolutely love the color combination
String Star and Garden Maze - great graphic pizzazz
Old Maid’s Puzzle - fun scrappy blocks
Pickle Dish - another graphic pizzazz
great scrappy blocks, great red and blue combo
lovely wreaths
