Many years ago a very nice lady sold me all of her quilting stuff dirt cheap. She had cancer and wasn't going to survive. She showed me a very beautiful piece of fabric and said that it was her favorite and she hoped that I could find a good use for it. Well, I did, I made her a quilt with it. She was thrilled and I felt better about taking all of the stuff she had been collecting for years. Made us both feel good. I can't imagine having to part with my sewing stuff, would be like giving away an old friend and theropist. I think I will make my kids have to deal with that when I cross over. Hugs.
