A few years ago a friend who had worked with my DH asked him if I might want HER stuff. I said DUH, no brainer here. It turns out she gave me a quilting frame that her dearly departed had made for her. Plus a lot of her stash. The rest she donated to her guild. The reason was that she and her DH had quilted together. He cut, she pieced. He quilted on the frame along side of her. He and she were both retired and until he retired he had never so much as looked at her stuff or her quilts. But retirement made a different man of him. When he died she suffered so much grief that she could no longer quilt. It was so sad, but she seemed much happier with it all out of her house. Now she's involved with the Little Theater and League of Women Voters. She too has become a whole different person.
