My best friend and quilting buddy have an agreement, the survivor must clear out the other's fabrics and take them home with her. We have decided our husbands will take care of the other's wife ver well just to make sure his wife does not inherit the other's stash at his house. Now I can not worry about what in the world will happen to my beloved fabrics.
We actually had a church member who died. Her husband brought our church pick-up truck loads of fabrics for our quilting projects. We literally threw out 100+ yards of fabric that had been damaged over time/weather while stored in the outbuilding. His delight has been in seeing the many projects his beloved wife's fabrics have supported.
