When my grandmother died, my aunt asked for her treadle machine. The machine went to the dump; no clue what finally happened to the cabinet and base, but my mother never quit talking about it!!
On the other hand, my mother got the quilt tops, one of which I finally finished, and the other is in the 'round tuit pile. She also wound up with the family bible, my great grandmother's pitcher, and a few other things. Guess which certified hoarder still has it all?? ;-P
