I love your doll quilts. I have a few. Had one appraised which also has a fabric dated to 1830 in it.

I have recently been doing some net surfing to find examples of these due to a new fascination I have found for these. My family background is German and I would love to own one of these someday. It was great to see yours and nice to know of someone that truely appreciates the history and workmanship behind the towels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
