Later on today I'll get started on chapter two.<br />Definitely will be a going back in time thing, though! There will be a distant relative dying, but not an inheritance, as such....<br />BTW Do we have an avid historian in the house? Could really use your help once we go back to "the old country"!koolkatquiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399493426547104099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074560759048699155.post-70060972535454959482010-05-31T06:27:08.538-07:002010-05-31T06:27:08.538-07:00Withour getting too far ahead of ourselves - I rat...Withour getting too far ahead of ourselves - I rather fancy Del's idea of finding the chatelaine - but using a key to unlock an attic doorway and travelling back in time - or the key could just unlock a special drawing room that is always set in the 17th/18th century complete with inhabitants (perhpas some famous quiltmakers) and you can flit between the two time zones. Eventually finding the quilt they were working on - with a special code in it about jacobites or some such group????

It was a ticket to the opening night of a new private art gallery in town. The exhibition was titled "Art in utilitarian objects". The blurb underneath mentioned, rag rugs, quilts and other "homemade artifacts".<br /><br />I sat and stared, first at the ticket and then at the cryptic note.

What old Aunt and what Estate. ? <br />it went on to say I was to contact them in regard to visiting the estate to deal with her personal items and decide on the Estates fate - to sell or not to sell. <br /><br /><br />Hope this gives you some ideas, maybe the old Aunt could be a quilter with fantastic stash of fabric and quilts that she had made over the years yet never shown. <br /><br />Hugs JEannie <br />the dogs cat and chookJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314590069432021582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074560759048699155.post-33881165957426719432010-05-30T21:45:47.509-07:002010-05-30T21:45:47.509-07:00Hope uou get lots of suggestions ..... here's ...Hope uou get lots of suggestions ..... here's mine!<br /><br />Invitation to go to classes with another friend .... one you haven't seen for years.
