Yeah, this poor lady had a true obsession with all quilting things. She also kept all sorts of craft items, Christmas decorations, etc. Her living room was just a junk pile of anything and everything, including some very nice finished quilts.
BUT, I did not like Walsh's attitude. You can have more than two choices when sorting through that stuff. Why didn't this lady let those quilt helpers take what they wanted, especially given that they are part of her circle with quilting for the veterans? Why not have a yard sale, filling bins with items such as threads, patterns, fabrics, etc? Why throw away kits with some pre-sewn pieces?
That poor patient husband having to put up with not being able to use an enormous living room because of all her stuff made me feel so sorry for him.
Then I found myself weeping when the Army folks showed up to help her store her remaining items. Would you rather wade through your collections and not see your beautiful grandchildren?
Today, I've started sorting through my own stash inspired by this lady's problem, but I am nowhere near that bad. Just saying, and I would never let that Walsh in my house.
For years I worked for an elderly accountant who gave me two invaluable pieces of advice: Never let the Internal Revenue Service or Social Services inside your home. They always find something negative! :lol:
