Quilts and Ladders



Nope- this is not a new game or a new obsession.  My love for fabric somehow led to the love of quilts.  Or was it the other way around?  Either way, I like both and I own a lot of both.  Some of our quilts are store bought, some are homemade by me or others, but there are some in about every room in the house! (with 3 quilts in the process.  Yes, at one time.)

And then one day I saw something like this...

Quilts belonging to this bride's family were hung on a ladder and set atop hay bails surrounding the dance floor

Oh, my heart be still.  I. LOVE. THIS!
So, I put a bug in my father-in-law's ear since his passion is antiques and low and behold- look what I got for Christmas!

It is so tall we are going to cut it down and it needs some cleaning up and maybe a stain or paint (black maybe?), but I have plans! ;)
See all of these...


 They will have a new home soon.  Instead of in places and piles all over the house.
Can't wait to share the finished project with you.  February, maybe!
