I just spent the morn. in my sewing rm. cleaning off the many shelves of "stuff" including tons of internet patterns, needlework pattern books, etc. It's amazing how the sentimentality dwindled the more I got into it. I just need them to be gone.
Since losing my husb. 4 yrs. ago & knowing I have to sell my home in the next yr. or so, I can see the huge job I'll have emptying it after being here for 38 yrs. That may be the position that seller was in & the burden was greater than the sentiment.
You found a beaut. quilt & I think fate brought you to it. At least it's now in loving hands.
