>Meet Alice. Alice has an unknown past. I first met her at a thrift store where she was a bit forlorn at having been sewn to a cheap comforter in an attempt to make a duvet. $10.00 changed hands and Alice came home with me. I carefully removed her from that terrible comforter and had to trim down her borders a bit to even her up. And then she went off to the quilter. When she returned she got to attend the Spring Quilting Retreat with me where I spent all day on Friday stitching her binding. And then she slept with me the rest of the weekend.
Isn't she lovely?
Wow, you did an awesome job rescuing her! It's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteAlice could not have found a better home. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYes Alice is great...Are you sure it's not Alison? hehe.
ReplyDeleteShe gave me another idea to add to my list of things to consider with curves for my Challenge - Thanks Alice!
Alice looks like an old friend already. Did you hang her outside so she got to smell like fresh air and sunshine too?
