    I absolutely love the antique notions that we come across. What a gem that is. Can you just imagine what a quilter fr om that era would think of the tools we use today?

    I have one of those, my Dad was born and raises in China, and he would sit and watch his Ama Iron their clothes. They are beautiful, and very heavy.
