Every once in a while, Jack Metzger, from Jack’s Out Back Antique Shop, comes by and gives me an old quilt or some old fabric.
Jack’s like me in that way, he has a hard time throwing out anything old that someone might be able to use.
Once he gave me an old worn out bear skin. I never figured out how to use it and when we moved from Old Bedlam Farm, I brought it back to the woods hoping a fox might use it to line its den.
Today it was this old quilt, worn and torn in some places and still perfectly quilted in others. I have no doubt I’ll be able to use it somehow.
These old quilts are treasure troves, and tell so many stories, despite not knowing their origins. I will look forward to seeing bits and pieces show up in your wonderful creations!
They really are very special and hold so much energy.
