I also went to a sale where a woman had been killed in an accident and her husband was selling her quilting. Her sisters and sisters-in-law were in charge of the cutting and selling and did a very good job. They had taken what they wanted and were selling the rest. It was an incredible stash and tools and took up a whole basement. It was cabinet after cabinet of fabric and crafting supplies. I got about 150 yards for $1 a yard; got rulers for a dollar. Apparently she had so many plans for when she retired but died shortly before retirement. There's no telling how many thousands of yards were sold. Her magazines were given away. I think she would have been pleased that her crafts would be living on with others who love her fabric and tools.
