Crazy Quilt Dossier: 6.22 Visible Mend

 

Begone damn spot!

That stain was driving me nuts.
It was at the top edge of the quilt and I saw every time I was in bed.

A nice little visible mend.

Details:
I want to mention the "flag" bark cloth print above the mend.
This came from a vintage skirt that I purchased in Providence circa 1979-81.
The patch came from excess when I shorted the hem.
Though it no longer fits, I still have the skirt, somewhere in the giant mending bag.
I like the print too much to release it.

Crazy Quilt Dossier: 2024 Repairs

 

The quilt in 2020

It's quilt mending season, when it's too hot to have the quilt on the bed.
Last summer, it spent the entire summer draped on the living room coffee table, and I don't think I did a lick of stitching.

I will do better this year!

On the table, ready to mend

Random restitching patch joins are not worth documenting, but when it gets to new patches and/or visible mending (embroidery), I'm going to go into before/afters and my textile memories.
