Quilt Show: Traditional

I love quilts, have bought and made several (Click here).  I especially love log cabin and wedding ring.  Here are some of my favorites from the Arthur, IL quilt show (Click here).  But there were some creative uses of traditional patterns.





I love barns, so really liked the embroidery of different barns and the quilt on the right is really made of rectangles, but the quilting gives it a curved look.  We also enjoyed seeing new fabrics used of retro fabrics from 1920's and 1930's.






As pretty as the wedding ring quilt on the left is, my favorite is still the one my mother had with brown fabric.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
