Wow! What a prize! Don't you wish that it could talk and tell you it's life history?

What a treasure! You must be doing a happy dance. It amazes me what people dispose of and the things they hang onto.

Wow, the thread in the quilt is worth more than that! It's a shame they didn't see the value of the quilt ... but very lucky for you.
