RETO 10 en espera...

Estar sen máquina de fotos non facilita ter os RETOs ao día, non podo fotografar o que merco nin o que fago co que merco... Agora,  complicáronse aínda mais as cousas, porque teño o coche no taller... Eu son capaz  de ir andando a RETO, iso que está a mais de 10 km da miña casa, pero volver andando carrexando a mercancía xa é moito ata para min, que son moi teimuda...

En fin, o luns dánme xa a cámara reparada, espero por ela como por auga de maio, e o martes ou o mércores dánme o coche, tamén reparado...Mentres tanto, aí van  algunhas das últimas cousas que gañei  ou que perdín nunha subasta  en ebay: O libro de costura e remendo xa está na casa. A gaivota,  pola contra, voou. O quilt, dis que cosido a man por unha señora de Dakota do Norte nos anos 30 ,esta  xa saíndo de Boise, Estados Unidos cara a miña casa...

Esta é a descrición que acompañaba ó quilt que ven de camiño:

Dresden Plate variation vintage quilt all hand stitched 1930s fine!  This vintage quilt has been well cared for over the years and is in outstanding condition. All cotton, in sturdy condition (fabric and stitching are strong) and the colors are sharp and vivid. No running of colors onto the background.
The quilt was handsewn by a North Dakota lady in the 1930s.Her daughter (now in her 90s) calls it a Dresden Plate quilt, although some DP quilts look very different, so this might be a variation. The pattern in this quilt are stars (made from diamond-shaped patches) in one kind of fabric pattern set inside a hexagon of another pattern, also made from diamond shaped patches. All seemed to be unique. These are set on an off-white background also made of hand stitched diamonds.
The border edges of the quilt are scallopped. It measures 72" by 102" which would cover the top of a double or queen sized bed. It is not padded, but it is finished.
As mentioned, it is in very good condition, with no stains, tearing or damage. A rare find.
