Yesteryear Garage Sale Finds. . .



Trip Around the World Neighborhood
I found this quilt top at an Odessa, Texas garage sale. The daughter who sold it said the pieces were cut by her grandmother and hand pieced by her mother in the 1950’s.

  2. Thanks, Lisa. I also guard my quilts and find it hard to part with them at times, even to family members. Some people don't realize how much work and love are put into them.
