Gilbert Historical Museum Part 2

So here is the last post on the Gilbert Historical Museum. I love all the vintage stuff they have at this museum. Is makes me so grateful to have all the modern conveniences that I have.



I loved this scout display. It gave me some great ideas on how I want to display my sweeties scout and cub scout stuff!!! I love to get inspiration!!!!

They had a cute display of vintage hankies. I loved the crochet butterfly. I don't know that I would have the patience to do this one!! But it sure is pretty to look at!


I love to see the old paper dolls. I wish I could find some for my little girl.

Believe it or not I have a sewing machine very similar to this one that I don't use any more but have on display on top of my planter shelf. It is a great ice breaker when new friends come to my home. They always ask how I got it up there, and I say, "A rope, lots of my sweet husbands muscle, and sore muscles later."

I love the old kids books. I would love to find some prints and make a cute vintage play room with them. Dream on! I don't even have the room for all my sewing, quilting, scrapbooking, embroidery, and all the other hobbies I have! Oh well a girl can dream!

Quilt Show at the Gilbert Historical Museum

I love to go to the Quilt Show at the Gilbert Historical Museum. It is so fun to see what the ladies in my community are making!
Yo-Yo Quilt. I don't know if I will ever have the patience to make this quilt but I really think they are super cool.
I Spy quilt. I want to make on of these for a sick day quilt. You place different blocks that have fun things to find in them for the little kiddos!

A variation of a rag quilt. I think I might try this one.
Fun Halloween Hanging Quilts

Sun Bonnet Sue quilt. I have a book with a pattern for this quilt and hopefully some day before I die I will get one made!
I love this vintage fabric. It is soo cute!
I took this picture for my mother-in-law. She has a jungle themed room in her home and I thought she might like this one.
I love the embroidery on this one! I could make this one easy!
I thought this was a cute way to honor the armed service men and women!
The jazz quilt. I have never seen anything like this before. It was more amoeba shape than quilt shape but it was so cool!

Mini hexagon quilt. This made my fingers hurt just looking at it!! Stay tuned for more pics from the museum in a later post!
