Home

After my overnight flight home I arrived to find a text from my son to say he would be waiting outside for me. Their I was expecting to wait two hours for a bus then another two on it to finish the last leg of my journey . What a nice surprise that was. I guess he was as pleased to see me as I was him.
I was wondering what to expect when I opened my case because when I picked it off the conveyor belt I noticed the coloured strap I had secured it with had disappeared. Who's been in my case ? I found the strap cut right through tucked in the front zip compartment with a little note from American Security Administration to say they had inspected my luggage. Hope they had a nice surprise!!!!!
So I know your all dying to see what I bought well the pictures tell all.
Enjoy












All the dealer could tell me was that he bought it in Florida.
I don't think it would have been originally made there but imagine it was made further north.








The dealer told me this one was from Ohio but no real provenience with it.
Hope you enjoy the eye candy.
I should add that I know TSA are only doing their job to protect us all.

    You sure know how to shop for souveneirs! I LOVE the first one - it's jaw dropping gorgeous! I adore the applique, the pieced blocks, all the dogteeth and the QUILTING!!! The second one is wonderful too - great colors and a fun block. Enjoy!
    How lovely to have your son surprise you like that :0)

    Both are lovely, Sue. How exciting for you to take them home with you. That's what I call finding the ultimate in souvenirs to remind you of your time away from home.
    The second quilt looks similar to one I have on my repro quilt bucket list. You beat me :)

    Sue, your souvenirs are fabulous. We think alike! I love the first one. I'm partial to the white quilts with fine stitches. When I look at the vintage quilts I've purchased though the years, they tend to be two colors: white and ...
    Glad you are safely home, that you had a wonderful time in the US, and that your sweet son was waiting for you on your arrival.
    Rest up........Sarah

    Love the red and green quilt...I am sure it was not made in Florida! Since so many folks retire down there lots of northern quilts show up at estate sales and such. Glad this one has found a good home!
