An estate find
 
5 Attachment(s)
Again! I really have to stop going to them......you know how some people adopt stray cats/dogs, seems I'm doing the same with quilts/tops......actually, have done the animal thing too![ATTACH=CONFIG]548598[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548600[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548601[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548604[/ATTACH]

dwr is just a top, it's either actual depression era fab or repo, don't know. Border is yellow as cornerstones, and straight, but sewn by machine following the curves of DWR. Other is complete, no label, tho, emb done by machine, so no vintage, and a bit of damage, but I think I can fix them fray/tears...$30 for DWR & $20 for states---actually only 48...
any ideas on how to fix those tears....looks like it was caught in something, pulled a bit, then releases...whatever.....just thought I'd share....the life of two strays
