Ditto! No way would I sell somethning that a family member made, all ther work! :shock:
|
Lucky find for you but so sad relatives dispose of such treasures!
|
GREAT FIND!
|
I just got a hand pieced, appliques, quilted quilt as part of a lot at an auction. I guess we shouldn't kid ourselves. If we make things that stand up to the generations, they'll outlive the people who loved them.
I personally plan to leave at least 100 quilts for people to discover at yard sales 100 years from now! |
Its a beautiful quilt and I am so glad it found a home where it will be appreciated! Lucky you for such a great find.
|
Absolutely gorgeous! That is a real treasure! Don't know how anyone could part with it let alone for $2!
|
What a great find. Lucky you!!!

Lucky you !!!

Another quilt rescued. Yeah! I too cannot understand how someone could part with a treasure like that.
|
Too bad she didn't want to keep "grandma's quilt"! Lucky you though, looks like a great find and a great price to boot.
|
:thumbup: :-D :thumbup: enjoy your prize!!
|
great find
|
Love the colors. I would hate to see one of my grandmother'sd quilts sold for $2.
|
What an incredible treasure!
|
Congratulations on an amazing find, too bad the seller didn't know the true value of the quilt, but I'm sure her grandmother would be glad it found a good home where it will be loved and cared for. I wish I had a quilt that my mother had made, but sadly, they were well used and didn't survive. I do have 2 pillowcases that she embroidered and I cherish those.
|
I am glad you are giving it a loving home.
|
What a wonderful find, it was waiting just for you!
|
Great find!
|
Oh my gosh, can't believe she got rid of it. Oh well, you scored!!!
|
That's a treasure you have there!
|
Seriously selling G'ma quilt for $2??? G'ma should visit that one in a dream. Good thing you were there to love that quilt.
|
:-) Score!
|
A homeless quilt has found a loving home!
|
Very pretty.
|
What a find!
|

I agree. I wouldn't think of parting with any of the quilts my grandmothers made, I really treasure them.

Great buy! Lucky you! :)

You're definitely a "winner" with this one!
|
What a treasure :D:D:D
|
Good for you. Enjoy it!

Most everyone's comment is about the same: How could she part with her Grandmothers quilt? I would not in any way, form or fashion depart with my dear Grandmothers quilt she made. I would be "sadlady" if my children, grandchildren, sister or brothers parted with the quilts I made for them. They know that too!
I always say: If you have to get rid of one on my quilts, I hope it goes to a family member that will cherish it, if not, I hope it goes to someone like this dear lady (a quilter) that got it from the yard sale. A quilter knows all the love, labor and thought that goes in a quilt. |
People just don't know what they have, do they?! Glad it's now going home with someone who will appreciate it. :-)
|
Great find.
