I Wonder What Quilts Were Made Here...


I have an attraction to old, abandoned homes and barns.  I don't have many pictures of them, though, because I am usually in a hurry, or my husband doesn't want to keep stopping every few miles.  Last week while on vacation in beautiful Bear Lake Idaho/Utah, I had time to take some pictures.  Can you see the view of the lake that these pioneers enjoyed?


I am also a curious person by nature.  I wonder who lived in these places, and what their lives might have been like.  I wonder what types of quilts kept them warm, and what they looked like...

It seems there are quilts or projects everywhere you look





So I was looking around our condo in Arizona one afternoon, and it struck me...  my obsession is everywhere.   Everywhere you look...    These are pictures of just the living room and dining room, too.  I leave this inexpensive Kenmore machine there so I can do my piecing.  It seems I never have time when I'm home because I'm usually doing my machine quilting.  Most times we go there I take one small overnight bag with an outfit or two, and then three large bags of quilts in various stages of completion.   To the untrained eye, it may look messy, but to a quilter, ahhh, it's eye candy!  Of course, I love it!
