VINTAGE THINGIES THURSDAYS

I had not planned to participate in V.T.T. this week but when I saw that vintage quilts was the subject, I couldn't resist posting about this Cathedral Window quilt I made back in the 70s. I don't know if it qualifies for "vintage" or not, but it seems pretty vintage to me. lol.  This was our bedroom in our house we lived in at the time. Gold was the popular color for walls and carpets. This quilt was made all by hand. I found a website that tells how these quilts are made. I thought it was quite interesting. If you're interested, you can click here to find out how it's done. It was a big job. I thought I'd never get it finished.

The picture below is a quilt the church we were at gave to us made by the ladies of the congregation. They knew pink was my favorite color. This was also in the 70s or could have been very early 80s. 
I have posted both of these pictures in the past, but it was quite some time ago.

P.S. You might want to check out my book giveaway. You will find the link for it on my sidebar. How Not To Look Old is the name of the book and I'll be giving 5 copies away.
