Thanks, Ritzy. I wish I could take credit for it. I hadn't read the story about it in awhile. Technically it's probably not a quilt since it was made by professional male weavers, so a coverlet is a better description. If I were to duplicate it I would make it as a quilt. Just wishful thinking for now. My future project list is already overwhelming and I'm trying not to add anymore to it. Glad to see Lorchen is keeping warm.

Thank you everybody for finding the old cartoon from the 1960s amusing and not offensive. And, Margo, be warned.......... if you dare this 'old bird', she'll flap her wings and do it!

I'm thinking with the frosts we've got at the moment, she is more likely to have goosebumps on her bumps :shock: So apart from putting a wig on , what's the difference from normal?

I like the long blond hair, not so sure about the rest of it. Glad it's just for 1 day! I found a quilt with my name on it awhile back, printed it out thinking if I live long enough I might duplicate it but probably not. It's in the Wisconsin Decorative Arts Database, "Figured and fancy" coverlet made for Annis Clapp, Dutchess, New York, 1834. No relation of course because that's my married name but thought it was cool since I have an unusual name.

What are the chances of that!! http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/wda&CISOPTR=269&CISOBOX=1&REC=5

I think that's pretty cool too Annis. And it's a wonderful coverlet, I just had a look at it. It sits right at the heart of the industrial revolution and expresses those very values in its quotation. Thanks for sharing. Rita.
