Normal Children? or Genetic FreakShow

Queenie — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:07:00 +0000

My children are normal in the way that the like to play video games…

but I think they are pretty strange in the way that they like to play them in a box.

I guess it’s just adds to the weirdness that their faces are dirty and #5

looks like he’s naked. I think they got all of this from their father.

Everyone know that I’m not weird….. right?

A look at the Past: Redwork Embroidered Quilt Top

Queenie — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:00:52 +0000

When I first started selling on eBay I wanted to sell vintage quilts.

I love quilts.. especially older ones. I like to think about all the history

behind each one of these creations. (don’t you love the Legos behind the

quilt holders feet?)

Sometimes I wonder if the maker of this thought her redwork quilt would be sold

on the internet? Liked she would even know what the internet was when this was made!

I bought this quilt top from a local estate auction for not much money.

I wasn’t sure I would actually sell it. I love the red hand embroidery and all

the hand stitching.. but after I hadn’t done anything with it for a year or so..

I decided to sell it. It sold for a little over 150.00. If you want to sell a

quilt and are not sure of the pattern or the age of the quilt, email me!

I love to look at quilts, and know just enough about them to be dangerous!
