found my very first "rescue quilt" on ebay for $45 "buy it now" |
all wrinkled w a few blood stains and unfinished edges but so very amazing xoxo |
completely hand sewn by an 89 year old sparta il. lady who recently went into a nursing home....not much to know but i am happy to have this much... xoxox |
i used mary ellen's wonder spray and pressed all the raw edges 1/4 " | ...no problem at all since it was so beautifully pieced xoxooxox |
and i have started appliquing a small border with an almost perfect match of blue/grey solid by freespirit....found it at my favorite keepsake cottage shop |
i have so many favorites in this wonderful quilt.... |
please don't be jealous ....there are many more quilt tops out there just waiting to be rescued xoxoxo |
