I had a friend years ago who told me her f-i-l loved counting his money--and died with a pile--never spent, just counted. I said, "What a shame." My friend replied, "NO, a double blessing. He enjoyed counting it and I'm enjoying spending it." Same with your fabric. Owner one enjoyed it now it is your turn. Who knows who comes next?--Who care?
