Hi, Tina!
What's the name of the big piece that you are working on? I'm near to
completing my JanLynn Christmas tree skirt that I started last August. Next
big project on the list is L&L's The Quiltmaker.
Chances are that the folks that sell needlework at thrift shops and garage
sales are not the ones that stitched them. Maybe they were given to them as
gifts or inherited, and they just don't appreciate their beauty or the work
that was put into them. It's a shame, isn't it? But their loss is your gain!
