Did you get a picture of her with her quilt? Of course not. We never think about those things until it's too late. But wouldn't it be nice to make a label, a very large label with the story of the quilt and the names of those involved. You could still probably get that information. That would make the quilt ever so much more valuable. Quilt shows like to display such things and viewers like to read the stories connected with them. As we all enjoyed reading your story.

Oh my gosh....what a wonderful story and quilt. Each and everyone of us would have given her more than something for the quilt. No family or friends to leave such a precious quilt to? Makes me want to go tag all of my quilts as to who they should go to.

I teared up just reading the story...it must have been a difficult moment for you both. But...as she said, she knows it is going to be loved and cared for so there was a bit of joy in the sale for her. It is a beautiful quilt and one that you will treasure as its caretaker.

A stunning quilt and such a beautiful story. As sad as this woman was, I'm sure she was also at peace knowing it is now in the hands of someone who will treasure it as it should be and not cover their car with it or some other such awful thing.
