Estate sales
Does anyone else find quilting stuff at estate sales? I love going to them but only find my kind of stuff every once in a while. When I do, I have a fun time getting the bargains. But then, my mind wanders and I wonder what the person was going to make with the fabric I find or ...... why did this person's loved ones decide to get rid of the treasures they loved? It makes me feel kinda sad. The person died before she could get her projects finished..... she still had creations that needed to be made. I hope I can do justice to her precious fabric and I cherish the tools because I imagine she cherished them.
My DS says that when I die, people are going to go crazy over all the stuff I've collected. Neither my DD nor my DGD quilt... or sew much for that matter. My DSs don't even know how to thread any of my machines (I have 16 at last count). I know, I should have taught them. I guess I need to get busy and quilt more..... so I can use up all the fabric and wear out the sewing machines and tools. I think I have a plan..... gotta go get busy.
