Maybe those sold at the garage sales found true love.

Very true, Mardi. Very well put.
I was upset, but as I said, by the next day we were hugging and laughing and talking. DIL knows how much I love her. And you know what? She may NEVER get to the point where she loves and appreciates these kinds of things, but that's her life and not mine. |
It's too bad that some people don't appreciate hand work and a gift from the heart like this.
It's beautiful, a true treasure, and I'm glad you saved it. |

This is the reason that I am very careful about giving a quilt away. I only make quilts for people that appreciate them. The materials alone, can be $70-100 and then there are the hours of my life that I spent making the quilt. The only quilts that I send into the world to fend for themselves, are the charity quilts for children and nursing homes.

Somehow I missed this.
Ducky, wtg on saving that treasure!!! |
Let's ask each of us what the definition of appreciation is in our own words. We will find I am sure, that there are so many different interpertations. Let's do this just for fun and see what we come up with.

Thank you for sharing this treasure with us. I like Bow Tie quilts. They are scrappy and have a unique quality especially with that pretty border and being hand quilted, they are really special. It definitely needs a good label now that it has found a good home. God does work in mysterious ways! :lol:

Glad you rescued the quilt. It is beautiful and the quilting is fantastic. I'm glad that you have a close enough relationship with her to let it go and carry on.
It really makes me sad when I think about what a disposable country this has become. Sometimes I wonder how many items will be passed down from generation to generation in the future. |
