My Steal Deal of a handmade Quilt ...
I happened across this quilt while cruising around E Bay. The lady who made this quilt is ninety and had to go into a home. Her family had this quilt sold at an estate auction, and the man who bought it sold it to me. It had never been used or washed and had spent it's life in a cedar chest. There were some staining from the chest on it and so I carefully treated it and washed it. All the staining came out, thank goodness. I haven't had the time to press it yet. But ladies this quilt is hand embroidered, hand quilted and huge! I was astounded at all of the lovely feathers and close cross hatching small stitches on this quilt. I am still in shock I was able to buy this quilt for just under a hundred dollars! What???!! I wish I knew a good appraiser to find out what it really is worth.
