I found this hand embroidered and hand quilted baby quilt at Goodwill for $3 and rescued it! Somebody's poor grandma was rolling over in her grave at the thought of her handiwork being treated so unkindly until I bought it and brought it home. It now resides alongside my own quilts...happy, safe and used and loved by my grandchildren.
I've made my grand daughter 5 baby quilts & they never used one of them. When they found out they were pregnant my son asked me "Mom are you going to make our baby a quilt" & I told him "I said "NO I'm going to make her s 6 pack" Well she will get #6 when she gets married!
