Hand Made with Love~,,,A "Keepsake"....I have many hand made quilts My mother, grand mother and I quilt..and I cannot even imagine someone giving a quilt away Hand it down to someone in the family...these are treasures--so much work.love and time is put into a quilt. That being said-I found these wonderful quilts in a lil junkin shop in Ringgold Ga today~ Someone spent a great deal of time on these quilts..7 stitches per inch..good batting, great old domestic fabric on back~ As I picked up the quilt, I thought..I would love to know the story behind these old quilts..SAD~ But I added these to my buggy and was very grateful I found them

Grandmothers Old Crochet dolly~~

These old things holds some great memories --you thought forgotten until it is sat in front of you Then feeling the treasure brings back days long forgotten in the mind~
