OK – I’ve been inspired to follow Lara’s lead and show off a bit of expert eBaying
myself. I’ve become slightly obsessed with all the vintage quilts on the American
eBay site, and have been bidding on them for ages, only to be pipped at the post
by evil people who use those gazumping programmes that come in at the last second
and up the bid. (You wouldn’t believe how cutthroat America quilt buyers are –
friggin ruthless.) So, I was extra excited when, after 10 months of browsing and
bidding and getting frustrated, all my online quilt lust paid off with this lovely
antique quilt top. I know it’s sad, but I really feel like patting myself on the back.
