    Adorable. On my blog I just posted a small bit of fabric. I was trying to get an age? If you have time to stop and look? Thanks

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and looking at that oiece of fabric. I really enjoy the purple and roses in it. It has been fun for me to find pieces and blocks that are before 1875. Thanks again very kind of you
