    Yeah, I guess that made up for giving away my Ginny dolls!! LOL!! I left them behind when I married, then wanted to retrieve them for our daughter. No harm, she never much played with dolls and he gave them to a needy family.

    Wow, how lovely, I have really enjoyed seeing these old quilts, thankyou so much for sharing with us, you are so lucky to have them. I love seeing the old designs and patterns of the fabrics, having been in the fabric trade for many years, it is very interesting to see these old fabrics.

    thanks for sharing...love to see what others find and also the designs of quilts. We have a bunch of antique shops near my work so at lunch a friend of mine and I go even with no money...so many old quilt tops and old quilts. They are so neat to look. They also have old really neat table cloths which I am thinking of using for backing on a lap quilt. Most of the table cloths are only $3.00 and the fabric is really unique. OK....I just convinced my self that I need to go back and get a few.

    Those are fantastic. I'm a little jealous. I'm finishing (by hand at the request of the original owner) two 60 year old quilt tops made from clothing worn by my husbands mother and her siblings. Both of the tops were sewn completely by hand. I'll post pictures when I'm done.
