Really sucked in air on this one. We celebrate when we find things at auctions and estate sales. But I have her memory of love burned in my mind as she worked so very hard to finish before my wedding.
Good luck with your venture.
I also have this in a full-size quilt in blues/lavenders. My mom bought the kit and started on it in the 1970's. I inherited all her UFOs and finally finished it a few years ago. I tried to hand quilt it myself and I need to re-do some of that because I didn't know what I was doing. It took us some 30 years to finish it and it is a treasure to me. I still have the directions that are now tattered and yellowed from age, but love that paper almost as much as I love the quilt. I'd say "priceless". Thanks for the memory jog.
