Mom died at 91 years of age in August of 2008 leaving behind massive quantities of quilting material, already cut blocks, patterns, and visions of new quilts. She had made every child, grand child, and great grand child a quilt. She had just start two new ones for her newest great grand children.

I can do a lot of things, but cannot force myself to quilt. Therefore, I have all of this material that is sitting here going to waste. Some of it is brand new in 3 yard pieces. That is how she wanted me to buy it for her. Some of it is scraps, and some of it I am sure is just junk. She worried all the time about what would happen to her material, saying no one will every want this stuff.

But I am thinking someone out there will want it. So if you have any ideas, could you let me know. It gave her so many, many hours of pleasure to create her quilts, and the joy of receiving one of them was just unmeasurable.
