Why one should hide their quilts when going on vacation!
#1
My dh and I went to Knoxville on the 12 and stayed for a week. Then we went to Louisville until the 23. Our 18 year old GS lives with us and stayed home to take care of things. He was told that he could have company of the male gender while we were gone. Well, he did. On at least 2 night his buds all came to our house for poker parties! I have 10 quilts that are on display around the house. They range in size from large throws to king-sized. When we got home late on Saturday night, I discovered that every one of those lovely quilts had been used for sleeping on the floor! Stinky teen-aged boys on dirty floors meant that I am still washing quilts. Next time I leave for any period of time, I will lock the quilts in the bank! I really have too much time and labor and love invested in my quilts to allow them to be used like that!

That's why I only make quilts that are intended to be loved, used and possibly abused! With 5 sons and a daughter not all that long out of the teenage years and grandchildren around, I learned a long time ago to just expect stuff like that to happen.

Have you previously told your DGS they were off limits?
Had you discussed sleeping arrangements before you left?
And the beds and bedding?
I'd be thankful they used the quilts instead of venturing out after drinking. (yes, assumption on my part that they were drinking as part of the poker game.)
