Vintage Pink Quilt

Every Saturday Beverly over at her blog How Sweet the Sound, is the hostess of Pink Saturday. I am very excited to participate for the very first time. This is my vintage pink quilt which I believe is around 75 years old. Each square is hand embroidered and unique.

There is a windmill and a basket of flowers. Tulips and a kitten playing with a ball of yarn.

A horseshoe for good luck and a young girl in a bonnet.

A cluster of grapes. Imagine the hours of work that went into the embroidery alone!

I love the picket fence with the flowers growing behind it.

A pot full of flowers, a baby and a frog too. But here is my favorite of all, "Old Faithfull". I think the person who made this quilt made a mistake in spelling "faithfull", but I think we can overlook that error, don't you?

Thank you so much for visiting me today. Thanks also to Beverly for being our lovely hostess. Don't forget to stop by and visit the other Pink Saturday participants as well. Have a great Saturday everyone!!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Red Laundry Day

Nothing like the color red to liven up a wash day! Once again I am joining Sue over at It's a Very Cherry World for another Rednesday. I do so love Rednesday because ... well you all know why by now. Here is a vintage laundry bag that is hanging up on the wall of my back porch which is also the laundry room and the back pantry. I love the back porch because it is full of windows and is sunny and bright with a western exposure.

Here is one of my vintage red and white enamel basins. I love these and find so many uses for them. I can rinse fresh veggies from the garden, or soak fine washables or use them for tidying up around the house. I hang them on the back porch wall too so that they are easy to reach.

It was a lovely evening and I decided to hang up this quilt on the line to give it a good airing. I am very careful not to launder this quilt too often because it was hand quilted by my Mother-in-Law and is a cherished possession of ours. Thank you for visiting us on another Rednesday. Be sure to visit Sue and all of the other participants!

Love,

Susan and Bentley
