Why is all this junk showing up on my page? I didn’t post it. This page is only for my quilts and quilt related posts

Sorry for the previous post with no explanation. Evidently facebook doesn't want me to add more pictures. So I'll try it another way. Anyway, this quilt has a story. My daughter Dana Thiebaut pieced the top about 30 years ago, when her kids were small. She had it all marked for hand quilting,then put it away. I assume life got in the way with 3 small active boys. Last week she dragged it out of a cupboard and handed it to me. "I don't care what you do with it."
When I opened it up I saw a stain on it and when I checked further, there was a handful of BACON hidden in there, dried and hard, but it left a grease stain in 2 places. No idea how it got there. Maybe one of the kids stuck it in the bag. Big mystery. Anyway I was unsuccessful in removing the stain completely, but I decided to go ahead and quilt it anyway. Lots of white space for feathers and such. Now it's all finished and I will show it to her tomorrow night. She might want it now! If not one of her children or grandchildren might.

It seems others are advertising on my page. I know I don't post here regularly, but I can hardly find my posts because of the many ads. Facebook, do something about it. This MY page.

Ninepatches abound in this scrappy baby/toddler quilt. Back is a mottled purple soft and cuddly flannel. Disclaimer: While no quilt is perfect, this one has an obvious mistake in the quilting. I got off the row and a section near the top has a gap in the quilting. It will in no way affect the
