Gee, these are just the sweetest fabric to find! LOL! She really liked pink, huh? Lucky you to have them in your stash.

You ought to make a doll quilt as a keepsake(for yourself) with this fabric and feature the price tag to remember your grandmother and the times she lived in!

Oh my gosh. I'm old enough to remember Ben Franklin stores. My mother called it (and others like it) "the dime store."

maybe you should frame the fabrics..and photocopy the price tag and put it in the frame too (otherwise it will fade )
maybe even put some photos in there from that time?
Or do a memory quilt...let us know what you decide..
