Sisters can be great. While my sister was still alive, she would periodically purge her stash, usually during a move to a smaller place. Then when she passed away, my nieces sent over all her fabrics. Unfortunately, I could not keep them all, as we were forced to downsize from a 3-bedroom, 2 sewing area house to a 2 bedroom apt. with a very small sewing space. I did, however, pass it on to a dear friend, who passed what she couldn't use to a mutual friend who made charity quilts for local hospitals. I think Mary Ann would be happy the fabric was getting used and for a good cause as well.
