Beautiful handwork
I go over to a big thrift store that is run by a church from time to time, to see if they have any interesting fabric in their linen section. That is where I found my beautiful overlooked quilt wallhanging. As I was looking thru the bagged items, I saw what I thought might be a tablecloth, so I asked them if I could open the bag and look inside. This is what was in it. I have made these, tho not as elaborate, and know the time and effort that went into them. Another case of just tossing out the hard work of some relative. They have a good home now. If I could afford it, I would have the white ones mounted and framed. All are in perfect condition.

My granny used to make those. Some had grape clusters on them and some she soaked in sugar water and then let dry on coke bottles at intervals so they would stand up. I managed to get a couple of them when my momma died, so I'm guessing they are now almost a hundred years old. Granny made them when she was very young, or when Momma was and I'm 63. Beautiful, intricate work.
