If you read my goals for 2015 you know that one of my major goals is to continue to declutter my house from top to bottom. DH and I have begun with the basement and it has been amazing what treasures we've been finding buried in boxes. I thought I was pretty well organized when we moved into this house 9 years ago, but obviously I was not because we've found some odd things packed together in boxes in our basement storage room. And I'm ashamed that any boxes have remained unpacked after 9 years. Shame on me!
There are 4 of these candle-wick on muslin blocks. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but I think they need to go into a quilt of some kind. And the doll quilt needs a bit of repair. I'm not sure who made this, but it was in with some doll clothes so I believe it was probably a gift for the girls when they were little. The binding is done with a technique that I have never used, but the quilting is all done by hand with red thread. A little repair and it will go into the doll bed with the dollies for the grandchildren to play with when they visit.
Always fun to find treasures. . I used to do candle wicking and still have some thread, I think.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting what you find when you look in unique spots.
ReplyDeleteThe forgotten treasures we find are fun... And then there are the head shaking what was I keeping this for? I have some candlewicked Christmas ornaments from the 80's.
