About an hour away from here, during the warm months of the year is a huge flea market. They are open on Wednesdays and there is always TONS of fresh produce for sale. Two of our daughters and two granddaughters and I went there a couple of weeks ago. I spied a little threadbare quilt top and I asked the seller how much she wanted for it. I think she said $2. So, I got it. It was obviously lovingly made, all by hand, by a person who did not have any extra money, out of odds and ends of fabrics. It deserved to be honored and rescued. Tonight I backed it with some heavyweight unbleached muslin and repaired it with my sewing machine. I think it's sweet. It will make a very nice decorating item, or even a tablecloth. I hope the person who made it would be pleased.
