It saddens me to see these works of art so neglected.
I go to a local Goodwill store and I can't tell you the number of quilts (feed sacks, 30's fabric, crazy quilts and new ones -I recognize some of the fabrics in them) that people give away. Same with hand knit and crocheted afghans. I try to "rescue" those quilts which can still be repaired. I am a firm believer in that every quilt tells a story and I always wonder what stories these quilts have to tell. At least they are now in a "loving" home.
