I wish I could but the purse was a wonderful paisley print in bright summer colors and I left it behind at my home in Indiana. However, I did bring home a "friendship" quilt that I bought at auction for $5.00. Yes, it was not an error, I said $5.00. I brought it to the chat & chew and Elizabeth and I poured over it. She was the one that told me that it was a "friendship" quilt where each family member or friend made a square then gathered to put it together and quilt. It was a quilt that would have been only used on the bed on Sundays and was made some 65 years ago. Elizabeth said that the owner of the quilt possibly passed away, and that is how it went up for auction. It is amazing and I just love it!! I will take some photos of it and post them here very soon.
Elizabeth told me that because of the economy, their homemade quilts do not bring the money that they once did, making it difficult to sell them for all the work that has gone into them.
