What a great save. As a cross stitcher, I never could have passed it by. Heart breaking that so many hand sewn treasures end up discarded.

I don't know what I would do without Oxi-clean...great find you got there! I made one of those in the 70's...lots of work and many hours went into it! So happy you saved it!

WOW, that quilt looks like you just finished making it. So, so, beautiful. I wonder how it ever ended up at the thrift store. The poor soul that did all that work would be very sad. You are a winner on this rescue!!!!!

Love,
