Preparations for the QQQ 50 1/2 Birthday Party continues. 
Here is what our couch looks right now. Many areas of our house are starting to have quilts stacked in them. Kind of fun, until someone stops by and they need somewhere to sit.
This is a close up of the quilt my Grandma made me. It has seen better days. I wanted to wash it before I put the rod pocket on because it will be hanging in the Six Generations of Quilters special exhibit. I was afraid of what might happen to the torn edges during the wash.
Here is the same part of the quilt, but after I did my repair job.
I think it turned out pretty good. This was the best one that I did.
Some of the quilting lines had came out so I even fixed those. This reminded me that I am not a hand-quilter. On the Generations Unite my embrodiery stitches looked pretty nice next to my mother’s, but my hand quilting stitches stood out like a sore thumb.
This is the wallhanging that Jennie made me for Mother’s Day – 2003.
It now has a rod pocket also.

You can see this one alittle more,
but still much better than the frayed edges of the holes showing.
Here is a picture of the rod pocket I put on the quilt my mother made me.

Mom was a great hand quilter. Remember sitting under the quilts and watching the ladies quilt. That is such a fond memory for me as a little girl. See you in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the reminder – I gave out postcards at the May meeting, but I forgot to mail to those that were not there. I am going to address them right now.
If any of your family (or friends) would like to come, please invite them. Anyone that would like to see the quilts (or have some light refreshments) is welcome to attend.
I can’t wait for QQQ to see all of these in person!!!
BTW… when do I get my postcard, or did I have to specifically ask for one??? I am so bad on those things :-).
I want to share it with my family to show what you are doing for your 50th.
I’m glad you are posting about this. I would hate to totally miss out on the celebrations.
