Perfect Timing

It always amazes me when you happen

to be at the right place at the right time.

I'm not a person who generally believes in luck.
I tend to think that things happen for a reason.

But what about the person who happens to buy the 

one lottery ticket that is the jackpot?

Luck or purpose?

No, I didn't win the lottery or a new car.

No, I didn't win an all expenses paid vacation to Paris

And no, I didn't even get a free lunch.

Instead I happened to get this.

I happened to be at a place where a person

was wanting to sell this and I overheard the 

conversation.  

I casually introduced myself and

in a few minutes exited with this one of a kind quilt top.

The price was perfect.

The hand piecing is perfect.

The fabrics are delightful 30's prints.

I would love to hand quilt it someday. Yes, someday.

The seller was able to tell me about the maker, 

her great aunt who had a millinery shop in Creede, Co

in 1895 during the silver boom.
No wonder the stitching is wonderful.

 What about the edge?
It would definitely be a Challenge, with a capital C,
to bind!

So was I lucky today or was this quilt suppose to
come home with me?
Either way this is truly a beautiful and remarkable quilt.

Until Next Time-
