My sister's dream was to have a quilting business when she retired. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with colon cancer at age 58. She had her house & 2 storage facilities filled with fabric & books. I have been sending her quilt books all over the world as I find new homes for them. Unfortunately, I think a lot of her fabric got trashed as it was just too much to deal with & I was too far away. She was totally addicted to fabric and I'm afraid spent beyond her means which really became a problem when she was unable to work. Remember to build that rainy day fund for the unexpected as well as building your stash for the future.
