There were others, but I think the point is clear. It's been an incredible year for collecting, and if I'm not careful I'll need a much bigger house for all the quilts. Hope you enjoyed the show!!
Wow...all treasures!

ReplyDeleteVery eclectic...like it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely eclectic. There are several groups within the whole collection, and ideas about what to do with each group. Makes it hard to part with quilts, although there are some for which I have no other plans at this point.
