My sincere condolences to you. Losing a dear friend is so sad. The husband who burned most of his wife's stash..sad. It did sound as though he was very angry. Grief is very private and we all deal with it in our own way. Now that being said, reading this post and all what these wonderful quilters do....warms my heart. The other thought I come away with after reading this post is.....I think I need to organize my stash into projects. It's neat and organized, but not organized into what I'd like to do with them. Thanks for posting.
