    Most quilt shop owners know the best most knowledgeable appraisers, if they are not one themselves. Ask at your quilt shop for one in your area.

    Okay gals, the man I bought it from finally came though with a tiny bit of information. The lady's name was ester (no last name) but she passed away a few months ago at the age of 92. It came from a Latimer, Pa auction house, I believe. That is where the man who sold it to me is from.

    Now don't kill me, but, I sent it to the nevada diabetes association for an auction this thursday night. There will be tons of women there at a wine tasting. My things have always gone for much more than they are worth during the sale. I have never attended myself. I don't drink. There will be a starting bid price of 500.00 on it. I just couldn't resist sharing my quilt to help the kids.

    Sorry, I think the paperwork is all gone. I'm out of town currently, but will double check when I get home.

    If you find any paperwork when you return home, I'd appreciate it. Think the company name began with the letter "P" and don't know what I think that.

    The quilt sold for six hundred dollars last night. Enough to send one needy kid to diabetes camp buck on full scholarship. I am thrilled.
