kittenquilts,

THanks for the reminder. I suppose the one thing I feel least uneasy about is my quilting stash and UFOs, etc. Knowing by example, the people on this board, I hope someone like you finds my leftovers and makes something of them.

I wonder if anyone has done any research into the person who left behind their quilt tops? (That's another area of my life: genealogy.) A historical society recently shared with me a sampler made in the 1820s; the sampler included a family tree. With the information on it, I tracked the family from about 1785 to 1930. Wasn't able to find any living descendants, but I was able to paint something of a picture of the woman who made the sampler and document her family.
