Antique Pink Churn Dash Quilt Finished!!

The Pink Churn Dash is finally finished. I purchased this

top at a sale well over 20 years ago and stuffed it away.

I had to do some repairs and finishing on it but it

was worth it.  It is a beautiful piece of work that

some lady put a lot of love and time into.

I decided I was going to try and do the binding by machine.

I sewed the binding to the back and brought it around

to the front and secured it down with a decorative

stitch.  It came out ok... I think it will take a lot

of practice to be able to machine finish a binding to suit me.

I just didn't have the courage to tackle it by hand

after doing the Crazy Quilt binding by hand the first

of the month. My hands were sore for days.

I got all the quilts washed (warshed) and put away that I took to

the 4th of July Quilt Show up in Rich Hill.  I don't think I

will show another one again this year unless it is my red white and

blue crazy quilt. I like it, it is different than most quilts.

My Nine Patch will go back on the foot of the bed when the

weather gets cooler.

       When visiting at the show a few of us ladies were talking about washing

our quilts, how to and what not to do. Well then we got off on the

topic about how most of us say "warshed" when the proper way is

washed.  I know I tell the grand kids to go warsh their hands and get

a funny look once in a while. I guess it's all in what you grew up hearing

and I believe that in Southern Missouri we heard warshed more in my

day. I won't even get started on windows....
