I often go to Savers (second hand store) to purchase things for my charity packages and if you might remember I bought the little quilt and then couldn't give it away..................
Look what I found this time
Here is a close up of just one of the larger hearts
I guess if you have never hand made something you wouldn't have any idea of the hours and hours that goes into it but I just can't imagine anyone discarding this treasure. It does have a Happy ending

This is a crib size cross stitched blanket and only God knows how many hours it took to make.

Bless you for saving this little blanket. I guess this is why I do so much charity knitting. I could not bear the thought of a family member discarding my work. At least I don't see it if I give to a stranger.
I have a blanket, that is similar to this one. My Mom-in-Law made it when my son was born. I have it tucked away and could not ever give it away. Glad you saved this one.
That is an absolutely charming little blanket. A wonderful find. And, yes, I've done needlework & know how much work goes into such projects...
Somebody made that for someone with a lot of love -
What a treasure.
The love and time that went into this blanket was not appreciated by the person who recieved it. I have bought items such as this at Thrift stores and wonder how anyone could part with them. The last thing I bought because I could not bare to see it there was an American flag that looked like it had seen many days in a display box. I wondered who that flag belonged to and who would given it away. It is now safe with me. Peace
It is difficult to believe the handwork that people discard. I remember my grandmother working hours to turn out beautiful crochet or needlepoint. There would never be enough money to put a price on it.
