    Somewhere a quilter is looking down from heaven and glowing because a quilt lover ended up with her handiwork. What a nice find for you.

    Wow! You could have probably gotten it for $30 if you had asked. Since they had it marked so low to begin with, they had no idea how much it was worth. Good job Eddie!

    Does it have a label on it? Were they able to give you any history on it?
    Indeed, I was quite happy with it. :) There's no label or anything on it to identify who made it. I didn't ask the owners of the flea market about it, since the booths in the market are all operated by various vendors. The people at the checkout point just record whose stuff is sold and then collect the money for it.

    This is actually the first one I've ever bought. But I'm sure it won't be the last if I find any more like this one.
