Oh, I hope not - it's been so long and I'm still not able to stretch my arms out - but just enough to put this quilt together for a finish! I think Heidi may have popped the box of fabrics I need under her bed for me last weekend in our big tidy-up I will have to wait for her to visit, maybe later today!.jpg)
Heidi loves this raggy quilt and so do I! Maybe I will say it is for her and it can live at my place - we are still getting a few chilly evenings!

I really feel motivated after a very busy week, so maybe a day of just playing about will keep me motivated for the week ahead when I have not so much to do!.jpg)
Oh, a big yawn! Those who have followed my blog for a long time will be very bored again - every now and then I get a request to see this quilt that sometimes sneaks into the background of a pic - Flowering Almond - it is my own design reproduced from a photograph . It now hangs in a museum in Michigan. This style of quilting was fashionable in the 1840's - 1860's..jpg)
I was so very motivated in the days when I made this, no grandchildren living close by and no mother living with me. Perhaps I didn't waste so much time either - newly retired and used to going like a rocket. I'm have lots of plans for the week ahead - let's see what happens!Happy weekend!
PS - Heidi has just been to visit and rescued lost fabric for me, clever little thing, I love her ...

Won't your raggedy quilt be such fun coming out of the dryer? Love your red and green applique...can't ever see enough of it!!

glad you posted the quilt again lovely to look at
That raggy quilt looks snuggly. I need to make one this winter. I balance the desire to be a productive quilter with the realization that I started it to relax. Sounds like you have so many people to love around you that it takes some time. Good problem!
Glad Heidi rescued the fabric for you! The raggy quilt is so much fun! And that quilt you reproduced -- gorgeous! I think you need to show off more of your quilts for us newer people to your blog. :D
Thank you for showing Flowering Almonds Lurline! It is fabulous!!
Your Flowering Almond quilt is just superb and very special - thank you for showing it. Happy stitching!
What a lovely rag quilt and your Flowering Almonds is just awesome!
Hi Lurline,
I for some reason I cannot email you but I was hoping that you could advise me the name of a quilt block on 17.4.2010 2nd quilt down, block on r/h side lower, looks like off centre crosses.
Thank you Vintagerose6@hotmail.com Lesley Coleman
Michigan is home to me, which museum is the quilt in?
I'd never be bored seeing that beautiful quilt . Just a thought could the quilt be Heidis and live at my place ......
Yes, I am also from Michigan and would love to see your quilt in person. Where is it? Sue in MI
There is something about red and white that is so amazing. Love it.
Oh, Lurline ... where in Michigan is your quilt on display. Maybe I can go there sometime and see it!!
So, so pretty! Everything!
Your Flowering Almond .... gorgeous and I could never get tired of seeing that quilt!
Love your raggy and cosy quilt... these are the best ones to keep warm under..:O))
And the other one.. one word..magnificent!!
Yawn? I never get tired of seeing that quilt..it is a beauty and how wonderful it will live forever in the museum. Can I see it when I go to Michigan next month? Is it on display for the public?
Your little rag quilt is so lively and bright....is it cotton flannel?
Happy Sewing
Wow--just saw your Flowering Almond quilt! Fantastic--like something that SHOULD be in a museum! You are very talented! Enjoyed your blog about the lollypops above too but am too lazy to post there (my time management attempt!) ;)
