on the line November 2016



The washing line in the side drive always has something on it.
Either drying, airing or being assessed.



1930s applique is OK, just needs a rebind - a job for next summer.


1960s 60s crazy quilt with older -  1940s -50s cottons, I took off the back and batting the back as almost all the stitching , both quilting and  binding, had disintegrated. Must  have been a really cheap poly thread.

 

Lovely depression era 'fans' in the back of the van, waiting its turn. ( its in almost perfect nick)


  Made from vintage sheets circa 1960s - 70s, just needed a rinse.


Sold already!


' Umbrella' ??? applique, 1950s, needs a good soak , but other than that in good shape.
 Pity it's so ugly.  ( whoops, I'll never sell it with a remark like that)
