A few years a member of my guild had a terminal illness, before she passed away, she instructed her daughters to divide her stash and give to the members of our guild. Each one of us got a brown paper bags with at least 6 lengths of fabric, magazines, patterns and sewing tools, I try to keep my stash low , but being human I cannot always resist, but I asked my daughter to do the same thing , beside being a souvenir I know that my stash is gone to be loved I hoped the same way that I did.
