Here is a report about a quilt found in a charity thrift store. It was signed by President of the USA, Rutherford Hayes, and other renown Americans of the era. Why can't I ever find these things? LOL
Check it out at HGTV.
That is a cool story Pat. Amazing what folks will have no use for. At least that one wasn't thrown on a trash pile. Wow.

What an incredible find. The article didn't say who found it or how much they paid for the quilt, but I am sure that its value wasn't discovered until the person took it home and started looking at it in detail. Thank goodness they didn't just throw it into the washer and dryer! The person had to have some quilt savvy.
Fascinating! It's amazing that this quilt was simply dropped off at the thrift shop, but how wonderful that someone there recognized the names and realized that the quilt was important. :)
