Quilt Top Treasure Found

DH's sister and brother-in-law are here for two works to spend more time to work on cleaning out my MIL's house.  I have gone over for about 3+  hours every night after school to pack and sort.

We found another treasure.  Last fall we found several quilt squares hand stitched and pieced.  In a dresser drawer we found this quilt top!  My sister in law was not interested in it.  However, the Wedding Ring design is awesome!!  I will have to research how to finish it.  Facebook quilting friends think the colors of the quilt indicate it was probably pieced in the '30s.

DS-1 and DH finished planting corn today!!!  It has been a very wet and late spring.  Last weekend DS-1 planted cor 28 hours straight without going home.   They have 945 acres for us. Now, to start the beans.   Saturday the call came, "Mom could you bring me..."  So I find what he needs in the shop and head to the field. 


Today is Memorial Day, yet  DIL-1 had to work and with DS-1 and DH in the fields it was a grandma day.
