Trunk Show Tuesday with Vintage Quilts

July 12th, 2011

Marilyn {hi} has a wonderful collection of vintage quilts that have been cut up and made into something new and of course wonderful. Today she is showing off this collection—

She has done a trunk show before — her pincushion collection.

I snagged her little info from there:

I am an energetic woman who lives in a quiet neighborhood in a small city. I walk at 5 am about 4 miles almost every day. This is the time I listen to books and work on organizing solutions.

I am a lot of things in no particular order. A woman, mother, sister, aunt, organizer, public speaker, wife, author, writer, teacher, reader, thinker, volunteer, talker, friend, T.V. and radio guest, quilter, rug hooker, and grandmother.

I love cutter quilts– they have wonderful fabrics, great personality and a few spots thrown in for good measure. I love the idea of taking something that has literaly been loved 'to threads' and making something new and loveable with it.
