Bonnie Hunter spied this Crosses quilt in
the window of The Dusty Rose Antique Shop in Calais, ME, in early February
2008.
She hinted to her husband, Rob, that she'd seen a beautiful antique quilt,
thinking it would make a nice Valentine's Day gift (their anniversary,
too). On February 14, the quilt was still in the window of the shop
so she bought it and gave it to him as an anniversary gift! He
laughed when he opened it; maybe next time he'll take the hint!
Maker unknown.
