I wasn't gone too long...2 hours. When I came home I went in one door and they went out another. Thank goodness I wasn't gone longer! What did they take? My quilt top!, and the other quilt on the bed, computer monitor, electric tooth brush, bottle of soft soap, camera, watch and few other things. They had other things boxed up ready to go out. I know what you mean...work on making a quilt and it disappear...the time...the money...the thought of sharing it with someone you love...
