Old Quilts from Arcadia, Florida

Spent the day in Arcadia, Florida a little town with LOTS of Antique Shops !And I found Quilts. 

Always ASK, before taking photo's in anyone's shop.Not one No !

All hand done - this would have been purchased, but they didn't take ANY charge or debit cards. and I NEVER have cash ! 

Ironing board full of quilts

This shop owner didn't know what to do with quilts !

Always check the condition, open it up, touch and look !

These are water marks ??? I don't know if I could get these out?

Simple 9 patch set on point, with a GREAT blue border.

A Great Quilt ! all Hand done

Picturing Quilts Before Shipping

Our Son's and Daughter-n-Law's received quilt gifts this year.

They were in NEED, I worked for months on them and had shown just bits and pieces as I made them. 

But, they have been opened and now it's my turn to share them. I take LOTS of pictures before a quilt leaves the house, I'm always in need to quilt pictures.

All are machine pieced and hand tied, with 2 layers of quilt batting in each and full size. 

 Two blue quilts to one house

Two yellow to the other.

We took the pictures on Dec 2nd here in Florida and as you can see, it was HOT out !
