Oldies but Goodies - -


First we have a clock face that my mother embroidered in 1961.  She appliqued on the blue fabric at the top.  The clock quit working and it needs cleaning.  I am scared to soak but I will and then keep soaking it if the colors run.  Meanwhile some new clock works are in order.

Today I also found a quilt I made years ago.  It covered a cedar chest in a window from amny years.  It is old looking and faded.  I plan to wash it and see what happens.

I had long ago forgotten about that clock. It looks good!

Old and faded is good. People work hard to try to achieve that effect.
