this is, fortunately for me?, not the first estate sale find....I have accumulated: 2 whole cloth, handquilted (tiny stitches), 2 beautiful appliquéd and hq, 3 pieced and hq, all well done, 2 machine embroidered, and machine quilted-store bought. It seems in this area-no intense interest in quilts. I always go on the last day of these sales, so there was time for these to be swooped up, but they are always just there, laying on a bed, or in a corner waiting to be adopted......then, here I come, their new custodian for now - future of them.....probably back on a bed or in a corner as no interest to my DDs.......but for now, they are safe and do look pretty on beds!

Geri, how could you ever pass that up? You can't even buy lunch for 9 bucks. It's beautiful and so are your cats.

There are pledges and then there are pledges....$9.00 for all that and that quality is not a pledge breaker, it's a necessary purchase...can't lose sight of common sense, after all.

You could not have even bought the thread to quilt that with nine bucks! OMG, lucky you. (Two paws up, oh you make me laugh out loud)

How lucky for you. I don't know of anyone on this board that would have passed up this gift. BrendaK

Wow! What a find, but I've never seen anything like for sale in store on online. Can you tell if it was commercially done?

Yes, it had one of those warning labels----do not remove!- well, I DID! No one has knocked on my door yet!

actually, I have seen similar ones at the Cracker Barrel store connected to the yummy restaurant!
