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.

I came back home a few days ago from two weeks family holidays in Rhodes. We were staying at a remote place of the island with no internet! This is the reason why I was not very active on my blog recently.

We spent a wonderful time there visiting some stunning and unique archaeological sites, dreams of beaches with soft sand and warm sea. Needless to say that I had not one minute free time left for sewing!
Nevertheless quilting was on my mind as I was inspirated by some new projects. My son arrived from Chicago loaded with fabrics and I am eager to start sewing again. The weather is becoming a bit fresher now, and more favorable to such activities.

Greetings.
