'thy sweet graces'
summer evenings on the porch swing, ruffled aprons, and tall glasses of lemonade. flowery tablecloths hanging on the line to dry.
a charming piece of a vintage quilt is the background for 'thy sweet graces'. the quilt pattern is called postage stamp as even the smallest squares of cotton were sewn together and quilted. old dresses were cut apart after they were worn out and the pieces were shared with friends and made into quilts.
even after this quilt was worn to shreds, this piece remains to remind me of the sweet graces that are found in everyday beauty.

Very pretty!
That kind of "beauty within thriftiness" was what first drew me to quilts and quilting. What a lovely keepsake you've created. So sweet!
SO very pretty! I love the "sentimental" look!
Love it!

This is beautiful Julie! What a sweet way to preserve even the smallest fragment of a once-treasured quilt. You have given me an idea or two with this one!
So, so charming. I love it.
