HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
I Have some eye candy for you - tell me what you think??? Yesterday, Saturday, my sister and I went to this one second-hand store and I found this:
I love to decorate with quilts and this was a find, made in 1930's? they think, for $50.00, drunkard's path, I believe is it's name, they did not know?? so, I came home and placed over my sofa sort of sideways, don't like everything to be all square? I don't know, just my taste I guess, anyway, I put it on a chair and it finally ended up in my livingroom over one of my sofas. I love my sofa's but I bought them it seems like a hundred years ago, so needed some blues to match drapes, so....what do you think? Is it too much or do you like it?
Then I moved my little quilt which I bought at an antique store to larger sofa:
Here is a closer look at the drunkard's path: It is cloth on cloth, no batting, all quilted by hand (I think) that is what they told me and pieced by hand....
Then on another find, I have this star quilt hanging in my foyer - I told you I liked to decorate with quilts: it's really red but in the picture looks lighter.
Well, I hope you find a lot of great finds on your next shopping adventure!
Hugs,
Mary
