Posted pictures of a beautiful tablecloth my Aunt Glenda made years ago, and my cast iron Amish people.
Boy It just won't stop snowing and blowing here. But even so, better then the awful ice and no power that some of the girls here are dealing with.

What a beautiful table cloth! The cast iron collection is neat too. I absolutely love the duck pin keep, what a cute idea!

Cindy,
Thank you, and maybe if you just folded your Great Grandma's spread over the end of your bed, or over a rocker, you could have it out where it could be seen. Don't hide it away.

Hi Nancy, what a beautiful table cloth. Also your people are great too. I, also, have never heard of them, but would collect them if I ran across them. BTW: your house is lovely!
I'm very fortunate to have a handmade bedspread that my great grandmother made. I haven't put it on a bed yet. Guess I'm afraid it would get ruined in some way. One of these days.
Thank you for showing us.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, cookies in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming. "WOOHOO, What a Ride!"

What a beautiful tablecloth, Nancy. What a great heirloom! I'll bet those Amish people are a lot of weight on that shelf unit. I hope you have good sturdy nails into studs!

So beautiful! What wonderful talent your Aunt has. :) I wish that I could do something like that. Maybe someday when the children are older.
Cast iron Amish people--that's not a collection you see every day, How neat it it!!
