Two of my 3 sisters are quilters, the 3rd makes aprons and small items. They get first crack at my stash which is large and eclectic and includes bolts of fabric. If the nieces want fabric or machines (lots of those also) they are next in line. Close quilting friends will also get a chance to "shop." If they want to take the time and sell my quilting stuff, they can do that or else donate it (preferably to Quilts From the Heart- I am Vice President)
