    I am so glad the quilt wll be with someone who will truely appreciate it. I think people who don't quilt, don't fully understand the value in either time or money or love that goes into making a quilt.

    My sister is trying to farm out 'family heirlooms' my mother made. No one wants them, but she is smarter than most of us...she's wrapping them up for Christmas presents and giving them away! That way none of us can say we didn't know...

    You're 100% right. There are thoughtless people of all ages. How could it be otherwise?

    Remember that this young woman has no emotional attachment to the Great Aunt...but her husband did. He's just as responsible for trying to sell it as his wife...maybe more!

    If I see a 'treasure' at Goodwill for a few $, I buy it and give it to "Fostering Hope", a private charitable organization I volunteer for. I am 100% sure that the 'treasure' will be chosen by some child in foster care to love and cuddle because I've seen them pick them out!

    I'm so glad you saved this, maybe G-D will later love this.

    So glad you got that quilt!! It is so sad how some people don't have a clue as to how much love and work goes into a quilt.

    I understand completely, only a few of my relatives get more than one quilt from me. The quilt you saved is beautiful.

    Judging from the number of responses to this thread. you hit a nerve with this thread. I'm so glad you were able to rescue this quilt. I only have one quilt from the stitchers that went before me and I wish I had been around to rescue more. Yours is lovely and I'll bet one of these days your grandchildren will be glad you have it.

    How sad and i would be ropeable and also wonder what she has done with the things you made - but as you say you found a treasure - I would flaunt it now and bring it up every time she come round!
