~ BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE QUILTS ~

WOW ! ! ! , do I have some BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE QUILTS to show you ~

These Quilts belong to Mark and Cay Warner of Pampa Tx ~

Mark and Cay drove to Canadian and brought me these five Family Heirloom Quilts ~

They asked me to attach a Quilt Sleeve to each one so that they could put them on display in their home ~

I believe these quilts belonged to Mark's Mother, and one of them he used as a young child ~

Don't you know there are many Wonderful Memories that goes along with each of these Quilts ~

Thank you, Mark and Cay, for letting me share your Treasured Heirlooms!

Have a Blessed Day !

~ ATTACHING A QUILT SLEEVE ~

GOOD MORNING, GIRLS!

This is an Antique Quilt belonging to Cay Warner of Pampa, TX.  She has asked me to attach a Quilt Sleeve to some of her Antique Quilts so that she can hang them in her home.

I thought I would show the process ~

We are going to make a 4" sleeve.

1.  Measure the top edge of the Quilt, . . .  measure down about 1/2' from the top edge ~

This Quilt Measures 69 " wide ~

2.  Cut (or rip) a strip that is 9" long and the width of your Quilt plus 1" ~

This one will be 70" ~

3.  Fold in the short end 1/2" and press, then fold in again 1/2" and press ~

4.  Sew a seam along the short ends ~

5.  Fold the strip in half with the wrong sides together and press, . . .  by doing it this way, you do not have to turn the tube - the seam will be hid between the Quilt Backing and the Sleeve ~

6.  Along the raw edge, stitch the long edge together with a 1/2" seam ~

7.  Press the seam open ~

8.  Center it and Press ~

9.  Along one of the long edges, fold down and press 1/4" - this allows a little slack so that the Quilt will hang better ~

10.  Pin the sleeve to the back of the Quilt, about 1/2" from the top of the Quilt ~

11.  Hand-stitch the sleeve to the Quilt - stitch around all four edges - make sure your stitches only go through the backing and the batting - you should not be able to see the stitches from the front of the Quilt ~

12.  Your Quilt is ready to hang!

Thank you, Cay, for letting me show your Beautiful Antique Quilt!

Have a GREAT day!
