Yesterday we stopped at our "Restore" by Habitat for Humanity. We walked around hunting a light and spigots for our rental house and in the lights section was a china cabinet and the glass shelves were wrapped in a quilt. I asked the man if it was for sale, he asked someone else, and he came back and handed it to me, and said, "We don't usually sell anything like this and I was told to give it to you." WOW. WOW!!!! It is an appliqued Dresden and it is soaking tonight in the washer. It is all hand quilted, I presume it is cotton batting, and in wonderful shape. It is maybe 40-50's and I am so pleased. My husband just looked at me. I said it will look good on the spare bed in our cottage in Pa. I have been in that store several times, bought some things for my granddaughter's apartment, but I never thought about a quilt there before. I was really lucky yesterday.
