What a beautiful quilt.
We had a Five & Dime in my home town when I was growing up. It was a great store with two floors. I was always amazed at all the things in the store.

Re: APPLIQUED QUILT
Barb, your quilt is stunning! But everything you do is top rate quality. I'm sure your daughter will love to have the quilt as a memory of her childhood.

Re: APPLIQUED QUILT
Such a beautiful quilt filled with such happy memories. I will attempt applique one day. Not one for tiny stitches but maybe machine applique. Barb, this is really beautiful.
And I do remember both Kressges and Woolworth's as a child. They turned into K-Mart and Woolco. They are both gone now from here in Canada. But I do remember the soda counter and the candy counter. My Gran would take me downtown on Saturday and we'd always stop for a float.....

Re: APPLIQUED QUILT
Barb, your quilt is beautiful. I remember the dime stores here. One was owned by the Meadows family. They had a huge candy counter/cabinet just inside the door. It was the first thing you saw when you entered the store. It had a glass front and was divided into sections that were always filled with all kinds of candy. What a treat it was to go to "Andy Meadow's dime store". Great memories!

Re: APPLIQUED QUILT
Barb, this is a gorgeous tribute to your commitment to perfection. I well remember all the dime stores and sure do miss them. One of my grandmother's favorite store was Grants. We would go and purchase fabric every month. And I made a lot of school clothes from their 49 cent calicos. Do you remember the measuring ticker that the fabric was slid through? I know you must! Thank you for sharing such a beauty with us.
