I am trying to get rid of anything I can make alot of money on fast. Please don't laugh. My silly little boy WANTED to watch Antique Roadshow while I was cleaning last night. I could see it while I was working. There was an old cross stitch item that went for alot of moo laa and they mention that they were made by stitching a pattern that was printed on the material. That got me thinking.
My grandmother used to handstitch rugs. She gave me one she had made and then gave me 2 - 3 of the hemp(?) patterns that she had never used. Are those things worth anything? I think they are from 1910 = 20's. No way could they be made any later than 1935. She was doing other things by then. Possibly the 1920's. She was pretty old when she died and I am estimating at when she got them and made the rugs.

Ha Ha Diane! It's probably all they are worth anyway. They are pretty big. They are sitting in my grandmother's trunk with a bunch of garage sale stuff on top of it with garage sale and ebay C&@p piled around it. I will try in the next few days? No, weeks to clear it all. I plan to have a garage sale in 2 weeks, on the 12th. So I might have to wait until then to be able to open up the trunk. (watch it not be there! Boy will I be bummed) Like last year, everyone is invited!
