Hangin' Out To Dry

I'm pulling out my favorite antique quilts....airing them out and getting them ready for spring.
They are the perfect weight for those warmer evenings when the fleecy blankets are too much but you still want to cover up with a little something....
..
and the colors....oh, the colors.







How many of you still use a clothesline? I love it for slipcovers, sheets, and huge comforters

{and quilts, obviously...}

Nothing is better than getting into a bed with sheets dried in the breeze and sunshine.



Big breath in.........................



..........and out. aaaaahhhh.

Hope the weather is lovely for you today and you can enjoy the great outdoors. Get some sheets and quilts out on the line...

chas! the quilts are gorgeous. i had one at my old house. i need to check and see if there is an ordinance about it at my new house.
i also love, love, love hanging my linens on a line to dry. thanks for the reminder to find out about that. i may just have to do it even if it's against code. hey, i will be green. how can you argue with that...right???

I used to hang clothes on the clothesline with my grandmother when I was a liitle girl. I still can remember the fresh smell of the clothes when we folded them. Your quilts are beautiful and the pics remind me of the warm spring days of the past. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
