    No doubt in my mind that the DWR is true vintage, not repro fabrics. What a great score!

    Wow! Did you see the stitches on the states quilt? Tiny even and perfect. Someone spent hours and hours on the stitching alone.
    Both quilts are fabulous finds. Lucky you!

    Great finds. Had a couple of estate sales here last month and the only find was a machine table with no machine. I bought it for 5.00 and my sweetie put my Viking sapphire into it so now it is flush. I never find any quilts needing a home.
