What a wonderful find. (saved, rescued!) I hope you finish it. I bet the quilter is smiling down on you. I love hand embroidery. It's really pretty.

I am almost embarrassed to say how much I got it for. ($10.00) but I also think she's glad someone bought it that appreciates it. If I were independently wealthy, she would have gotten more from me, as it was, she got my entire garage sale budget lol

It's beautiful! I think it's so sad that no family members wanted it, but glad you found it so that it will be cherished.

You never know what memories the DD had of her mother. Maybe not good ones.

I love it. You are lucky to find it. The V for Victory sounds just like WW2 Adds. I would bet she started it right after WW2.

Turns out my boyfriend is acquainted with her husband, i may get the chance to see more of her mom's work, or at least see if she remembered any more about it.
