Wow...what a story. I wonder how many thousands of dollars she has tied up in fabric! I also wonder if she would mention me in her will! Sadly, the task of emptying her possessions upon her demise will probably pass to a non-fabic loving child or other relative, and her treasures will end up in a dump somewhere. I'd like to dig in there right now and make lots of light and mid-weight quilts to send to Haiti.
