    Love that quilt!! So sad to know that many folks don't know what they are doing when they sell something. One of the Goodwill stores used to have special morning hours 1 day per wk,for antique hunters, who would find valuable things.
    I have a friend who has yard sales alot. I gave her some dollies I crocheted and she promised to keep them. I still think she sold them in a yard sale. I will not give her anything ever again as I learned she does this. I don't understand it because she doesn't need the money. You don't make anything in yard sales anyway, compared to what the original cost is.
