NOw I'm feeling bad. I had an opportunity to purchase a 1935 crazy quilt top yesterday for $100. Not finished and with some of the silk pieces showing deterioration. Too steep for my pocketbook.

When my grandmother's sister passed away her son sold the family house built of brick in the 1700's for over 1 million, loaded all the antiques (rope bed sets etc.) and all the beautiful quilts into trucks. He took them to Washington DC and sold them all. Then he bought a fancy sailboat and built a house on Antigua (sp). All gone and not documented first either.

Applique that is so sad, some people have no heart, what this must have done to the family, well, you know what they say, what goes around comes around. I hope he is having fun on antigua in his boat.
