Baltimore album

We had a wonderful getaway.....NOT long enough!   I fell in love with the quilt at Winterthur in Delaware

And....I could not contain myself...yes...I bought the pattern...I love piecing by hand....no machine...me...the needle...fabric and scissors.  I hope to start soon but then who am I fooling...I have 50 million rugs to hook and 10 million quilts to do...........one can dream! More pictures






The last is the best.....I love my dawling so much...he planned this for me...everything that I would love.  Everything!!! Old historic mansions, textiles, beautiful gardens, hand holding walks......even with my gimp leg and shoulder!

What a sweetie your dawling is! Love the photos. I laughed when I read you bought the pattern...that is one gorgeous quilt, for sure! And, there is definitely something to be said for sitting and stitching. I wish you the best with it. Am sure you will more than do it justice. You rock!! xo

What a fun trip. So many treasure to see. I would have purchased the pattern too.
