I saw this gorgeous chicken scratch quilt the other day on eBay and was shocked today when I saw no one had bid on it. $50 for this is nothing, but I just don't have the $50 to spend on it as I'm going right now to possibly pick up my vintage trailer!!! But some one has to get this. Considering it took me a couple hours to do my first chicken scratch which was a little 3 inch heart on an apron, I couldn't imagine how many countless hours went into this! There is even a signature square of the lady who made it. Anyways, just thought I would post a link so you all could see how cute and fantastic this is!

It is so pretty but I am broke too. I wish I could get it. Did you get your trailer? I sure hope you got it.

Hey Kris. The trailer that I was originally looking at is still up for auction, but I found another one on craigslist this week that is really cute and looks to be in great shape. It's a 1962 Fan trailer and has the same "canned ham" style as the Shasta. Hubby and I are on our way to look at it now. I hope it's the right one for us!

I won the quilt top! I can't believe all the work that went in to it. It is just a quilt top, I may have to back it or just use it for summer.

Yay Diane! You will have to tell us if it's as pretty in person! I just can't imagine how long it would take to make it, ya know? Definitely a labor of love! I did get the trailer today! It's more than I ever expected to be able to get. A lot of them out there are in such bad shape and the one I got is in beautiful condition. I posted a pic in outpost and I hope to post some interior pics pater on.

Yeah! The quilt came today, it is gorgeous! It is a quilt top only though. I bid on it because I just couldn't let all that hand work go to waste. You wouldn't believe all the stiches in it. It would fit a queen bed easily. I have not quilted in years, another project on the to do list. Thanks Siobhan for alerting me on this.

Time to shine up those old quilting skills, Diane! I wish we lived closer and I could come help you. I don't know much about quilting, but I think it would be fun to do some hand quilting with a friend. I can't wait to see what you do with it! You will have to post pictures.
