You're very lucky to still have the bedspread and know its history. The sentimental value of a piece can far surpass the market value of an item, especially when it was made by a family member or close friend and passed down. I have a few handmade pieces done by my great grandmother, who was a prolific needleworker. While they probably wouldn't command a huge price in the general market, they are priceless to me. I hope you have someone in your family to pass it on to who will treasure it as you do. Thanks for the story. What a wonderful story!

If you have a particular piece that you are interested in getting a general idea of when it was made or getting an estimate of value on, I would suggest sending a photo with a detailed description and questions to Ask a Worthologist to get specific information on that piece.

She spent a total of $100.00 on this thread and tatted a whole bedspread. It is abolutely beautiful. When she finished, the store owner where she bought the thread offered her $1,000, which was alot of money at that time. He also showcased it in his store window. Luckily, she didn't sell it and often on the holidays put it on her bed with a pink silk liner. I have it today, and treasure it. Thought I might share this story with you.
