I love how the petals play among the stitches. Tins - one of my weakness. The others are old suitcases and wooden boxes. I label almost everything, but sometimes I forget what my coded words mean. It is like going through a good vintage store when I start digging. Things bought for one project get moved to the pile for a new project. The wedding ring quilt is so pretty. Maybe with your new glasses you will find you like it again? If not, don't worry. When Mom was cleaning out, she handed me a box. Inside was the pattern and fabric for a double wedding ring quilt that my Gram had started right before she died. The fabric was scraps from her clothing and clothing she had made for us (1940's-70's). Hard to image a 40's fabric next to the pop art fabric from my sister's dresses. :) Enjoy time with your treasures.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74106743325531544.post-81510329850999804802013-08-03T18:47:08.034-05:002013-08-03T18:47:08.034-05:00I love the treasures you've found!
