Two Antique Quilts

Summer in France

Hi everyone! Back to Greece... and to my blog after a long summer in France. I am still busy there restoring my 19th century summer house bought five years ago. I love doing this job and especially  decorating, with the drawback that it keeps me temporarily away from quilting. 

I have sent most of my quilts, the antique ones and those done by me, from Greece to France, with the aim of a future exhibition, but not only : my house is going to be filled with quilts on beds, on couches, hanged on walls...

The above picture shows two antique quilts displayed on the sofa in the living room, bought by one of my sons on ebay in 2014. You can see several pictures of those quilts, with details HERE and HERE.

Easter 2015 Decoration

 

Today is Easter Sunday here in Greece, and in all the orthodoxe countries. We are lucky, after the snow falls of last Thursday, spring came abruptly and we shall celebrate Easter with a beautiful sun, blue sky and 23 degrees temperature. This year I thought of decorating the house with things I was using at the time my children were kids. and when I found the boxes in the attic and opened them, many memories came back to me... how joyful it was! The little cards were done by my daughter at elementary school. 

Today we shall have her visit with her husband and baby. She cooked the lamb and will bring it ready! I "only" have to cook the potatoes, prepare the salads and deserts! And I am going to do so right now.

Best wishes to all those celebrating Easter today.

More Christmas decorations

 Every year it's a great pleasure to decorate home with quilts and 

hand made crafts. This Christmas quilt is the second I did, hand pieced and hand quilted.
