Sharon, thanks for posting at my groups lately. Please keep showing us your antique quilts at the quilt group. It's much appreciated! 

Take care, Diane :O)

Sharon, Thank you for the best wishes! I haven't been online much lately. I'm having bilateral knee surgery soon; I've been having alot of trouble, and off work completely since April 9th.
I've only checked in on the VTLC, put a few things on sale at my Etsy shop, and blogged a bit lately.
Take care, Diane Mc

Hi Sharon-- Yep, we are endangered! I am still trying to find my way around here---I LOVE your quilts!

Hi Sharon! It sure seems like 100 sites! I'm here, bonanzle.ning, the handcrafters cottage.ning, vintagebride.ning, avcosa.ning, and greenspotting.ning, and biz bodies.ning! No wonder I neglect the VTLC!!! I hope to list at least a few things today on etsy and bonanzle! :O)

Hi Sharon! Thank you for the birthday wishes! Is my birthday posted on the VTLC? I'm on so many ning sites I forget to check back there, and Holly, and the bunch are probably fed up with me! LOL I forget to wish anyone Happy Birthday anymore! I hope I can get things going on an even keel here! Take care, Diane

Thank you for getting back to me. So, 1970s isn't really vintage is it???? I don't think she charged enough for it, but I could be wrong on that. I paid 9.00 for it. Can I finish it and still retain the vintage catagory or will it take it to modern? I hope that made sense. Again, thank you and have a wonderful day. Nancy

Hi Sharon: Diane McQueen suggested I ask you about the quilt I just purchased. The lady said it's vintage bark cloth and I was wondering if you could tell anything from a photo? I'm real excited about this not only becuase I only paid 9.00 for a 48x96 vintage quilt top, but also because it could be bark cloth. I'd never even heard of bark cloth until I started talking to Diane. Can you give me any suggestions on this, i.e. age, what to look for to determine age, etc. Thank you for your help. Nancy

Wow! I feel like I'm surrounded by celebrities, here! First I find this site by an author whose books I own and love, then I run across Flea Market Maven whose site I've visited often (very helpful) and then I find you here, too! I have no idea how many times I've looked (and drooled) at your site. I LOVE old fabrics - I just hate cutting them! It's a dilemma I haven't resolved very well, yet. Your website has been in my "favorites" for years. I'm always on the prowl for beautiful old fabric, so I guess it's no wonder I found your site early on. I know I haven't bought anything (yet!), but that's back to that owning v. using problem I have. Nice to meet you!
