postal patchwork presents....

 
  ...are the best!
 Especially when they come with lots of goodies from afar...
 
 Thank you Mary for decorating my home and my life!

 I am always intriegued by vintage patchwork
the hours it must have taken someone?
It's not even paper pieced,
just held and sewn.
(the way I made my first quilt)
I remember swooning when Mary 
shared her flea market find,
never suspecting that it would end up in my hands one day.
So now it's my turn to 
ponder....what to do?
Thanks Mary...I think!

  2. That is adorable! I guess I'd be tempted to square it off and make a large cushion...

  7. Oh wow! What a great gift. I could never sew in such a straight line by hand I think. Not sure why I think this as I hand quilt but that's my first thought when I see this.
