Check out the antique/vintage quilt that I found while shopping at a Victoria Thrift Shop with my daughter...(please ignore the tail! Rylie had to inspect and give her full approval!) It's an Endless Chain quilt all hand pieced and hand quilted!
Check out the happy, wonderful fabrics...I love them all
Such a cheerful, happy quilt! (I know...I have used the word 'happy' twice but that's what it is...HAPPY!)
It's a large quilt (I couldn't lay it fully out on the floor) and it's in great shape....no wear, tears or frays and it's clean and smells as fresh as it looks! :o)) And the price? ...It was $69. Not cheap but totally worth it! What can I say...I HAD TO RESCUE IT!
I think it's a PERFECT Spring quilt!
After shopping, we had lunch at Murchie's in downtown Victoria...LOOK at the daffodils growing on the roof top awning and there were large pots of daffodils outside the entrance! It was magical! The trees are all in blossom and I'm happy to say that the sun was shining! Spring has definitely hit our capital city!
Thanks for popping by...I hope you have perfect FUN Friday...and Happy Quilting!~P
Wonderful quilt find and I think Happy would be the perfect name for it. Mother and daughter days are THE best aren't they. Our daffs aren't up yet here in eastern Ontario... But the snow has mostly melted so I hope to check out the gardens soon. Loved the picture of the flowers on the awning .:)

ReplyDeleteActually, I think you got a screaming deal on that quilt. I was expecting the price to be much higher! I love the wide, yellow zigzag binding. Happy, indeed. I could hear Pharrell Williams singing "Because I'm happy" all the time I was reading this post. : )
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt find - great price. I am HAPPY for you.

Beautiful quilt!! You've made me miss my dear mom!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would say that is a superb find for $69! You usually see these in random scrappy colors. I have never seen one dedicated to the one color (green) with yellow centers. Superbly done! I see quite a few feedsack prints. I only know because I have such a massive collection! Just beautiful Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome find, Paulette! I love the yellow and green, wonderful spring colours. Definitely a perfect day!

Wow, I shop the thrift shops all time in Victoria but have never seen a quilt like that, good job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky find Paulette, and green for St. paddy's day! I love my endless chain they are such a fun design.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to our downtown Murchies in years. Went to the Park Royal location a few years ago, and yes dessert is a must.
Hope you weathered that wind and rainstorm intact!
What a find! It is a BEAUTY!!! It's on my to do list as well. There is a similar free pattern by Sharon Holland designs called Kalidescope. Enjoy your "Mom and Daughter" time!

What a great find Paulette...the quilt is fabulous! And then you had to top it off and have lunch at Murchies, one of our favorite places in Victoria. Hope to be there again in September!!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils! And on a roof canopy no less!! You do have a most perfect climate. And what a great find with your quilt - it's wonderful and full of spring too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a score!! Fabulous price too. Sure don't find good stuff like that in my neck of the woods. Lunch with the daughter is always a good day. Those dessert look wonderful, must of been hard to chose.
ReplyDeleteGreat find and I'm so glad you saved that quilt. Thanks for showing us. Victoria looks beautiful today.
ReplyDeletewhat a great find loving the edge too very fancy. The daffodils look so good growing high up away from pesky kids that might be tempted to pick them
ReplyDeleteYes, your new quilt was definitely a SCORE!! You're such a good shopper. :-) Our first trip to Victoria was in March, 50 years ago. I remember being amazed at all the beautiful blooming flowers.
