Quote from Norah: I get irritated when people don't use the quilts, but I also get irritated when they mistreat all of that hard work. Most have no idea how much work goes into a quilt.
I recently took my sister to a consignment shop just to see what they had. I had no money at the time, we were just browsing. They had alot of antiques there and I could not believe the prices, so low. Had a couple of shelves just full of old handmade quilts selling from #10 to $100. Lady there told me alot of the stuff was from estate sales. They have no idea how much work goes into a quilt. Not just the cost but the time, energy and heart. It saddens me to see that such a work of art is not prized as it should be.
