The price on the sales ticket??? You really want to know?? Two whole British pounds... £2.00 that's the price of a cup of tea. It's how much you pay to park for only 1 hour in our city centre and you can't even buy a glass of wine for £2.00!!... £2.00!!! oh it makes me cross. It's all hand quilted, it's not prize winning quilting to be fair but even so.... Marion has washed it and dried it in the tumble dryer and it's as good as new, it's a good double bed size with pieced scallop borders, very clever indeed. I am speechless (well, obviously I lie about that!!) how can a charity fund raising shop put such little value on something so beautiful? Someone needs a good talking to.

OH WOW! I can't believe they couldn't see it's value; it's lovely!
You are right, they should be thoroughly ashamed to let it go for that. Someone probably thought they were donating something that they would be able to make a fair bit of money from. They charge more than that for old t-shirts in our charity shops. Glad it has gone to a good home though
With your sentiments - but how could ANYONE give away something so lovingly made?
I agree with Annabelle. With the time invested and also the beauty of the quilt, how could you just give the quilt away?
I'm so glad it was rescued! I could never ever ever give a quilt away! ESPECIALLY knowing how much time and work go into them! x
