This makes me so sad to see a closet full of love being sold at an Estate Sale. I'm guessing the family doesn't understand the love and time it took to make these memories. I'm going to try to get to the sale on Friday.

I hope you are able to get some. Looks like she made lots of quilts. It would be nice to see them go to a home where they are appreciated.

I agree.

hopefully someone will buy them and appreciate them.

It could be that they have closets full of other quilts that were made and gifted to them. Better to pass them on to those who will enjoy and cherish them than have them languish, unused and unseen.

WOW. That is a lot of quilts. Hope the prices are good. You will have to let us know what you buy.

i agree, why would you assume the worst of people who decide to sell off some quilts,

they might have cherry picked items to keep and are now allowing others to enjoy her work.

it could be that the family needs money, in today's economy its not far from reality, and they want to raise money to send their children to college.

i'm sure the grandmother would be thrilled to know that her quilts and stash financed the higher education of her grandchildren.

my point is don't think the worst of people you do not know their story and should not pass such harsh judgement against them.

Ditto!!

I went to a sale two weeks ago and there were over a dozen that were sold. I had to go gripe at the auctioneers to get them off of the clothes line out of the direct sun for two hours before they were going to sell them. They did pull them off of the line and sell them right away. i bid on them but was not able to get any.

I feel as bad as you do. I hate to see the work of anyone's hands be so unappreciated. I hope you can snatch up a bunch of these.
