I've been researching the "quilt kits" of the '60's thru now. The embroidered quilts do require more care than the pieced ones. The threads break or wear off and there goes your pattern. When I give one I want to also give information about the unique gift they now have. I made one that took 200+ hours of embroidery. Then the quilting. Yep, anyone who gets one of my vintage quilt tops better cherish it! So, if anyone is at an estate sale, etc., and you find a stamped quilt top just know you have something special.
