Also, Joy, the daughter told me they have a garage full of fabric in totes that they haven't gone through and did not have in the sale. But again left my name and number and she is going to call me when they open the fabric up and let me have the opportunity to purchase.
This worked out well! I wonder how you approached the subject.
We just started talking about her mother's love for quilting and the many guilds in the area. She was so pleased that she had pulled the quilts from the sale to pass them along to the family. Her mother is still living but unable to care for herself. We shared our common bonds of caring for aging parents and love of quilting. I made a friend, encouraged her and we parted with a hug. Good day!
It really did turn out well. I'm glad you were able to open the conversation.
