PPF - finished quilt & giveaway

Hi sweet people of the arts

I am sharing the quilt I finished last week or so. Two views - one taken from the shade, and another from the sun

They are different bc the brighter one was photoed in the daytime

One thing I didn't have a chance to explain last time I posted - the quilt on wood thing is a pretty popular thing in Western North Carolina, and I assume elsewhere in Appalachia/the South. Possibly elsewhere, though I didn't really start seeing these till we moved out here

sample from craftsy.com of what one looks like

As far as giveaway -- I've had this calligraphy set for literally 20 years - my mum went to Hong Kong & got it for me, since I was studying Japanese at the time. It measures about 8 x 10 inches

It was always too pretty to use!

As can be seen, it is intact and very marvelous-looking. It looks like it's made out of silk. Have never as much as used the ink block or the brushes.

I am sorry to part with it but I would like it to go to someone who really wants it/can use it, etc. My main thing is looks like we'll be having to move again and I am getting pretty serious about eliminating everything save the essential. It actually is not easy and possibly even a bit painful but, time for a 'big girl pill' ! I've enjoyed looking at it all this time.

I'd thought of selling it on ebay but that just gets so tiresome - besides, it was a gift to me so giving it away seems more appropriate

All I want is someone in comments to say I WANT IT - if only one of you does, I'll send it. If more than one, I will do some random generator thing.

have a good one! Remember, say I WANT IT if you do, just like that, all in caps, to avoid ambiguity.


UPDATE: I've decided that the set will go to Nicole, since she is the only one, out of 27 people who visited this blog,  who expressed interest in getting it, as of 1am Saturday morning.
