Old Treasures - what to do with them?
Hey Y'all,
A friend of my family just gave me a large box full of her deceased aunt's quilting blocks/fabric, etc. It's mostly old 1930s fabrics & blocks. (Not my style.) On the bottom I found a bunch of blocks with newspaper templates still attached to them. I finally found date on one of the newspapers - 1935. Wow! So here's my dilemma... I don't want or need this old fabric & blocks. I have some old blocks from the same era that my grandma made - so keep them for the sentimental value and direct family tie. And I have a LOT of fabric & projects of my own going on. I"m trying to thin out my stash! hahaha! I was going to give it to the Goodwill and hope someone would find a use for it. But when I found the old newspaper templates & realized how old they were - I thought maybe there would be a place than would treat it like the antique treasure it is. Any ideas of a place that would want these blocks? All ideas and thoughts are welcome and appreciated.
Thank you,
Donna Mc
