The lady next to me was moving and she had just thrown out a clear bag with some great pieces of calico in it. There was also a little girls jumper that looked new. I took it apart and several years later, I'm still using pieces of it in my scrap quilts.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136264132659958527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-11232255642718451982012-07-01T10:34:42.447-04:002012-07-01T10:34:42.447-04:00Oh boy, can I relate to this one.
