We Lost A Dear Quilting Friend & Now Must Pass On Her Stash & Supplies
#1
Our quilting group lost a dear quilting friend early this summer, and now her dh has donated all her fabric, tools, rulers, boards, etc. to our group. Any ideas on how to fairly distribute, sell to, auction, or donate all her stuff, equally, to our quilting group? We also want to create a memorial of some type in her name, looking for great ideas!

Ahh, sorry to hear this Donna. Thoughts and prayers to her DH and to you and your group. Why not make a quilt with a photo of her, with her fabric and tools and give to hubby? or hang at your gatherings?? Im sure she would love that. So sad. {{{HUGS}}}
Not sure the extent of her things, but perhaps your group could use some of these things and then donate to a school or something like that.

You could make a brown paper bag of items, enough so that each person would get one. Number each bag and have coresponding numbers in a basket. Each member draws a number and gets the bag with the same number.
Another idea would have a silent action and the money would go toward whatever you all decide to do to in her memory.
Each member make a block, using this material, put them into a quilt for husband.

So sad to loose a friend.
What about if all members agree, write down their sugestions and then draw one or even the top five secret votes and then have every one vote from the five suggestions. This could get sticky if not handled right, I have seen families seperated for much less.
