My yard sale find
#22
Score is right! I'm glad you rescued it, even sometimes when we find old "cutter" quilts that are too far gone to use as a cover, I feel the threads talking to me, and I like to create something out of them to last longer, such as a pillow or decor like wall hangings or stuffed animals, cats, pigs, etc. I am making some stuffed bears for my grandkids out of their Poppy's old baby quilts as they are too tattered to pass on, at least they will have a piece of him to remember him by later.

I talked to an old guy today. After his wife died he told the kids to come get whatever they wanted. Sadly, they only took a few items. When he needed something to cover his table at the flea market he took one of the many quilts his wife had made. :shock: As soon as he put it on a table to hold his 'stuff' a lady offered him $100.00! He didn't have a clue.
I asked him if she had any fabric and he said, yes, but it's old!
I'm waiting for him to call me. :thumbup:

a great find, sad someone could sell her grandmothers quilts.
I had a huge collection of family quilts, I could never get rid of them. They will passed on to my grandbabies.
A great find for you! Enjoy
