Vintage Hexagon Crib Quilt

This is the best day I`ve had in the three weeks since learning I have asthma. I don`t like staying indoors but my allergies are intense. Lots of pollen and dust. While avoiding the dreaded pollen I`ve been  making another tote bag for my DIL. Hand quilting the sides today. Should be done by Saturday. 

I`m doing a short re-post today about a very old hand quilted Hexagon Crib Quilt. I love this little blanket purchased at a yard sale. It is made from scraps.   We were friends of the family. The gentleman selling this precious quilt had been recently widowed. I think he charged me $3.00. I offered more but he wouldn`t take it.

Isn`t it splendid! I`m pulling lots of UFO embroidery projects out of drawers. Embroidery is so restful. I``ve had so much fun these last couple of days quietly hand stitching. Thank you for visiting. I appreciate it.

More Sewing, Weather and desert life.

Today is week two of the Take A Stitch Tuesday Challenge. This week is the buttonhole stitch and variations if we so choose. You can follow the challenge at the above link.

You can read more about my sample here. About 20 degrees here last night. It should be close to 60 by noon. A small snake left a trail across one of the dirt roads yesterday. Some of them are persistent looking for a place to warm in the sun. It`s was in the 70`s last week and sometimes that prompts an excursion from the hole they retreated in to keep warm.

Hubby and I had our yearly doctor visits and we are "good to go" for another year. I like that!

Wishing you all a safe, warm, blessed week.
