My antique rocking chair

-

My rocking chair was sent from Vermont to France by mail in a big box, big brother had taken it apart and was able to box it up.  Well, my daughter in law's father put it back together for me, and now I have a piece of home in my home.  I was so excited, it was made in 1884,by someone, and I think that someone should be very proud to know that it is still loved and taken care of.  It was in my Moms bedroom, and I always sat on it, small but just right!!

You and I have the same taste with our decor and quilting. I can see a small quilt laying over the back of the rocker.

    Today I can say "thirty years in waiting"  is finished I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!! A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something. The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches  Monday Patch Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!! Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice.
