Forty-five years later, I am still waiting for the refinishing. It's become a family joke, but I can't part with it. I'm optimistic it will some day be refinished. By the way, I just finished my first Y2K quilt with signatures from all over the country. I do wish that one woman had not dated her block "1999." Enjoy your cabinet.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395305100178768668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88128173113964369652019-01-04T11:53:19.652-05:002019-01-04T11:53:19.652-05:00The Goddess chair looks like a Green Man design to...The Goddess chair looks like a Green Man design to me.<br />40hoppiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590829888415436568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33344122404669085632019-01-04T10:35:47.106-05:002019-01-04T10:35:47.106-05:00I too have read that many quilters in the past, es...I too have read that many quilters in the past, especially Amish quilters) would purposely turn a block the wrong direction. They would say that only God can create something perfectly. Also, it was fun to see that you found your treasure. I have a Martha Washington chest exactly like the one you found, except the knobs on mine are glass. I was told it was a sewing chest. The woodcrafter carved his name inside one of the side lids. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.Connie in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297369659150454149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2589374618415294192019-01-04T10:14:38.827-05:002019-01-04T10:14:38.827-05:00I read somewhere that the quilters of yesteryear a...I read somewhere that the quilters of yesteryear always turned 1 block in the opposite direction as a sort of signature. Not sure how true this was, but I've seein it many times. Perhaps that was what happened here? <br />You all should have pooled your money an bout that beauty that was hanging...then took turn sending it to each other with a letter of how the time was while the quilt was in your possession. 😊Michelle Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975401180145027361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-61954326070683361832019-01-04T10:13:43.778-05:002019-01-04T10:13:43.778-05:00$65????

With 55 years of public service before I retired, plus another 8 now, it is no wonder I am still so structured. It doesn't seem like I will get away from it anytime soon, either. lol<br /><br />Donna<br />Kasilof, AK<br />Where it was sunny, but cold today.

Then at the next farm they would start quilting since there would be sitters to keep the littles. Mom got up to tend something & husband knocked off her box & picked it up. She didn't notice because it was the last block & she was tired. Both of my grandmothers had 7 kids & didn't drive. I know neither grandfather would dare say he knocked off her quilt blocks! My dad's sisters told me sometimes it was on purpose. Maybe an oops to keep a sick child occupied when feeling better. Find the block with an error. If they placed the blocks where it wouldn't be noticed without a lot of looking. Maybe just someone out to say I am not afraid of the "quilt police"! My sister & I had non conforming ideas when it came to quilt design. It was smashed by our quilt police mother. We tell her now, just think we could be on TV & be famous. I also add I have my own mind. I sew so I can be different & give special gifts. If I want a quilt like others I will buy it!Aunt Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530878636904927910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-20281174847876708742019-01-03T10:56:18.430-05:002019-01-03T10:56:18.430-05:00I have TWO Martha Washington cabinets...one from e...I have TWO Martha Washington cabinets...one from each grandmother.
