Mending

 While visiting my sister, she asked if I could mend a quilt her Grandmother had made for her. I happily accepted the assignment as it would give my hands something to do in the evenings while we watched movies. I picked up some perle cotton, and needles and then ordered myself a thimble. My sister sacrificed a cotton shirt she hadn't worn in years.

There were several place like this where the fabric had torn, or worn away.


Patches were applied, raw edged, and stitched down with gusto. 


And the fabric was great to use on both sides.



It's all set to enjoy for a few more years.

Most importantly the cat loves it.
