More Spring

Here is a really cute Redwork tea towel I did for Spring. I love to do redwork....have many patterns that will probably not get done in my lifetime. I have a redwork quilt made by my great-great-aunt around 1910, according to my Mom. It is spotted and literally falling apart. We used this as an outdoor quilt to sit on when I was little. It really was abused. My mother was not a seamstress and hated to sew. As I got older I realized what we had done to it. I asked my mother if I could have it and she said yes. I didn't want anymore harm to come to it. I will take a picture of it and post at a later date. Maybe someone has an idea what to do with it at this point.


This basket is so very precious to me. A wonderful neighbor and good friend had a maple tree that had to be cut down. He let the wood age and sent it wherever to have them cut and dry it. (don't really know the order all of this is done). For Christmas he made his wife and daughters one of these baskets and he made one for me also....I was his "other daughter", he always said. I love this basket....it is so different! He made me many other wood items over the years and I cherish them very much.
