Quilt saved from garage sale

Very true, Mardi. Very well put.
I was upset, but as I said, by the next day we were hugging and laughing and talking. DIL knows how much I love her. And you know what? She may NEVER get to the point where she loves and appreciates these kinds of things, but that's her life and not mine.

It's beautiful, a true treasure, and I'm glad you saved it.

This is the reason that I am very careful about giving a quilt away. I only make quilts for people that appreciate them. The materials alone, can be $70-100 and then there are the hours of my life that I spent making the quilt. The only quilts that I send into the world to fend for themselves, are the charity quilts for children and nursing homes.

Thank you for sharing this treasure with us. I like Bow Tie quilts. They are scrappy and have a unique quality especially with that pretty border and being hand quilted, they are really special. It definitely needs a good label now that it has found a good home. God does work in mysterious ways! :lol:

Glad you rescued the quilt. It is beautiful and the quilting is fantastic. I'm glad that you have a close enough relationship with her to let it go and carry on.
It really makes me sad when I think about what a disposable country this has become. Sometimes I wonder how many items will be passed down from generation to generation in the future.
