You are a good friend....and good luck with this "gift". I think that this is the moment in our quilting lives where we have to decide what we want our family to do with our stash when we're gone. I've spoken to my husband and my 2 daughters. Each daughter has decided to take a sewing machine. I have the names of girls in my quilting ministry and guild for them to contact for the rest of the stuff. Neither of my daughters sew and my son would just dump it all in the trash. We collect our stash to eventually quilt with it so I think we need to make sure that the fabric and notions go to people who will use them.
