Oh yes, I am a fabric and quilt-a holic. When my husband and I moved to a retirement home a few years ago due to his health problems, I told my children that I was not going unless I had room for all my fabric. So we found a cottage with lots of closet space. Things were fine until family members were helping us pack up to move. They constantly referred to "downsizing." Then one day I looked out and saw 3 big black garbage bags beside our garbage bin. I first ignored them, but then decided to investigate their contents. Thank goodness I did look inside the bags. They were full of sewing supplies, which I promptly rescued! To this day no one has admitted to trying to throw these things away!
