We got this one on one of our trips to Vermont ... a place that we absolutely adore!!! Mr. Gene happened upon it while we were browsing through the antique/used area upstairs in Kennedy Brothers, a wonderful Country Store with homemade fudge that is to die for; and if I recall correctly, we paid a mere $60 for it. I can't help but wonder how someone's quilt ends up in places like this lost in a pile of everything under the sun ... why would a family let it go this way??? I'm sure there's a reason, but to me, it's kinda like "selling one's soul." Anyhooooo, there's no information on the maker, which is a good reminder to us all "NOT to forget that final touch of labeling!!!"
If you double click on the picture below, you can see that she (or he) finished off the quilt by folding over the backing and securing it with a "zig zag stitch," which is something I hadn't seen before. It worked tho, cuz it's still together :)
As my Dear Friend Amina would say ... "blessings on your day :)"
"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands." (Deuteronomy 7:9)
