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...

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!

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!
