Beautiful pics Elle! I so enjoy going on your trips (with you)! Those fans must have been inspirational for your fan project- hint, hint! And those ribbon plates!!! I love those! Wouldn't they make a great medallion quilt pattern!
I hadn't thought about the modern parts being only 35 yrs. or so old..makes it truly more amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your pics. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the quilt pics from your friend.
