Yes...it's sad, but others don't think so.Maybe just having all her "stuff" was what it was about.She may never have planned on using it. I had a freind who was the same with clothes,with closets full of unworn clothes,shoes etc.
At my age, it's past time,someday is now.Cutting way way back on buying works best for me, & I've also started using fabrics for backings,to use as a base for strip quilting etc.I even used a couple yds to make a kitchen curtain.This is my yr to use it up or do without!

This thread is an eye opener, though. I'm 70 and better get busy making quilts to give away and even give away some of the fabric I have. Thanks for sharing.
