Ruth, Glad you are safe and happy in your new home and obviously you are a strong person to have done what you did. I have become a lot more giving when it comes to my fabric - if someone needs it and asks me I will give some away. Can't hold onto it forever and can't take it with me. Now I need to do that with some of the vintage machines I currently own. :) FYI: LOVE the dogs in your avatar. Are they all shepherds? Mine has me well-trained - swear she must be part cat with the training she has been able to accomplish with me.
