    I think someone as caring as the maker of them found them.

    How wonderful that you found them & recognized them for what they were. I'm so glad that you'll be finishing her work.

    I think its wonderful that it ended up in a Thrift shop. I bet she is looking down and smiling! So many relatives would have just thrown them out...so glad someone was smart enough to donate it and it was for sale at a price where you can not only afford but also have such joy completing them...just think for every stitch I bet you will be wondering about the woman who it once belonged to. Happy Quilting.

    Aren't they pretty! Imagine her looking down and seeing all the people looking at her work because of your post!

    This wonderful quilter will never be truly gone because she won't be forgotten. I wonder if you weren't meant to find her quilts.
