I found an old, rain-soaked, handmade quilt lying in an nearby alley––come to think of it, the one where I found the run-over toy monkey. Lotta people live along that alley.
Luckily it wasn't stained with engine oil, just gritty and dirty.
It washed up well in extra-hot. I removed its clumped stuffing and gave the beautiful remains to Julia. (Maybe I sent some squares to Art Sparker too?)

You did
ReplyDeleteOh and I used them for my summer curtain project.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely find! Hot water and soap always works!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt was a lot of work. Perhaps the owner didn't appreciate it like some of us would or found it too-old fashioned.

I'm so glad I found it, so it can be appreciated a little longer.
