This woman passed away recently and her daughter finally got the quilt. However, who knows how it held up in the closet and she never saw her daughter enjoy the quilt and now her daughter has the memory of the quilt her Mom made that was just too good to be given to her by her Mom, but was good enough to be given to the closet.
I think this is just plain sad! How much sweeter to have memories of it being used.
My dgd got a quilt and used it and used it. It was strings by the time we went on a vacation and it somehow got left behind. Of course it was thrown out and she was devastated. But what memories we can track through mimi.
