Wouldn't want him to get back to the pitch (did I use an acceptable reference) too quickly.<br /><br />Let me swerve now to birds. You have surely gotten two sweet birdies' personalities captured very well.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-66058062546515640672011-06-05T01:48:56.280+01:002011-06-05T01:48:56.280+01:00Hey Gretel, what an amazing quilt, all those teeny...Hey Gretel, what an amazing quilt, all those teeny, tiny stitches, such a lot of work, love and time has gone into it.<br />What a shame it can't talk and tell you tales from times gone by..........<br /><br /><br />Oh Gretel, your little birds are gorgeous love the embroidery on them.<br /><br />Little Tew, no doubt will be much loved by his/her new owner.

I can look at a piece of patchwork I have made, and out of the hundreds of pieces involved, I can recall the exact moment I stitched the piece. I am sure quilting parties in the old days conjured up memories like photo albums for the people involved. I find the same happens with drawings, lacemaking...any kind of craft.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467630407914812378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-70567152649237576662011-06-04T20:05:55.020+01:002011-06-04T20:05:55.020+01:00Beautiful quilt.

I wonder if it was much in use. Most everyday quilts were used to death, so the extant examples were usually the ones made for special occasions, wedding gifts, etc.<br /><br />Glad to hear Andy is mending up -- and still playing cricket!
