Was he playing favourites with Brianne? LOL. Kidding.

It was a full size Christmas quilt that was paper pieced. Mrs. Yoder only charged $50 plus cost of two spools of thread. I bet it costs way more these days.Shelley Folkertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553180449195134184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-35965242010935735822015-08-17T16:59:11.401-04:002015-08-17T16:59:11.401-04:00Great post.
