    Oh what a beauty. I'd love to be able to make something like that. If you can't bring yourself to work on her, give her to me. You could drop her off & stop in for lunch with me on the way to the forum! (I'm in Columbia, folks, and if anyone heading to or from the forum wants a lunch break or coffee break here pm me.)

    If you're really concerned about authenticity & historical or monetary value, show her to an appraiser before proceeding. But I really think it's OK to finish her with the tools you have and love her.

    Can't you just jump up to Hamilton during the retreat if only for a little while? Run over to Licking and grab Barb (Bubby).

    Don't think I haven't considered it! We'll see what the reading is on my energy meter, and if sufficiently high, I'll swing in, meet some of y'all in person, & spend some $$ at M*.

    I inherited about a dozen tops, mostly from 40's; some earlier some later. I have tied some, hand quilted some and sent some to the long-armer. I asked the long-armer to keep to traditional patterns such as clamshell. I was happy with the result and all qualms are gone. My granddaughter still might get a few tops from that batch to finish.

    I know, I know. It's a long story, in which having a paying job plays a role. But it would be fun to put some faces to some names and give/get some hugs.
