Thank you for seeing a very pretty quilt and taking it to a good home! I wish I could find things like that.
I was thankful for white sheets and pieces of fabric found there last year when making Christmas costumes
for a church with lots of kids. This was their first Christmas program and they were surprised that they had
new costumes for it. I helped a lady who attended that church make 27 costumes and had a marathon sewing
the night before the program...at my church basement....two of us and an angel friend who came and did handwork from 8 PM to 2 AM.....and I finished the last hem at 8:30 AM...the program was at 10:30 and she had 15 miles
to go to get them their. She even made crowns for the kings out of gold paper and glued on jewels. It was
fun but I was too tired to make it to my church service that day!

it's a beauty! I've rescued a few quilty items from GW, too. Seems the families of quilters just don't know what to do with the treasures that are left behind for them to enjoy, so they donate them to GW. It makes me sad to find those treasures, and happy to give or find them a new home.
