These clothes are from the families mother's attic - whom sadly passed last year. She had saved these beautiful coats & clothes from the children's childhood years as well as every kilt that their father had brought back from Ireland. There are some amazing details on these clothes that I am really excited about.
I took apart all the quilts and washed them with some special fabric softener. They washed up really really well - a HUGE amount of fabric for me to work with.
I have been dismantling, cleaning, ironing, prepping & cutting this fabric for weeks now. I'm excited that now it is finally time to start sewing!!

Oooh, how fun -- I can't wait to see what you come up with!
I can't wait to see the quilt that is made from these fine fabrics.
The quilts are coming along nicely - I'm really excited to complete them & show them to you all. I hope the quilting process will be as successful as the piecing has been so far!
