by This is Carrie on July 1, 2008

I mentioned before that I didn’t bring any projects on my trip to UT, but my sis-in-law just happened to mention this collection of unfinished quilt tops made by her great-grandmother. The poor tops were sitting in a closet just waiting to breathe new life as practical heirlooms instead of a stack of old fabric. […]
