OUr posters have told us of some great buys from thrift stores, but you win the "dearest find" contest.

it is beautiful. good for you that it was waiting knowing you would appreciate it. It makes one wonder how it ended up there.

Beautiful quilt. ...and so WHITE! It doesn't seem to have had too much wear. Since we don't really know the whys about who would have donated such a great quilt, let's just say that it was meant to be there for you to find. And what a find!!

Went into the linen are to see if I could find some nice cotton fabric and found a quilt instead. Someone spent so much time hand quilting this beauty...and I find it waiting for a new home in a charity shop.
That's OK...I love it. And it seems to like it's new home....and Tinkerbelle has decided that it is comfy...she has made her nest and snoozed for hours on it.

That certainly is a treasure!! I always look at older quilts and notions when I am out and about, you never know what you will find!! Enjoy.

I am glad that it is in a home where someone appreciates it.

I just love the old quilts. It's so pretty. Don't you wonder who made it and how it ended up in a thrift shop.
