From Under My Bed, Chapter 1

Our house is in need of some care. I wanted to replace our bedroom carpeting with carpeting. The hubby wanted the ceramic tile that looks like wood. It's easier to give in; he's my resident decorator. Everything had to come out of the bedroom--everything. That included my hidden quilts, UFOs and other goodies that have been forgotten about. I'll try to show you my quilts as I find wherever they landed in the disorganized taking-out-and-putting-back that occurred here this week.

This tabletopper was pieced and hand quilted about 15 years ago. The project leader for our guild told me I needed to practice more on my hand quilting before stitching on the raffle quilt. She was right and I knew it. The four center blocks are from a panel and two look like embroidery work.

My grandmother gave me this treasure of hers about 50+ years ago. I've never had it out on display but now thought it really needs to be seen. Cutest teapot ever with accompanying cream and sugar bowl. Now it'll be in my kitchen with my other red/black and white decorations.

This tabletopper was made about the same time. Early quilting nicely tucked away and forgotten about.

Oh, by the way, here's a shot of the tile. Won't dent or scratch. Should be low maintenance and an inch more space under the bed. :)
