That is exactly what I have told my family. I told them they won't have to do anything, the girls will be over clean out the room and leave it nice and clean! Much easier than hauling it out to the garage, tagging it and selling it for probably next to nothing.

I have been blessed twice through the loss of friends, and I told my husband to call my friend(s) and make sure they go through it first (I wasn't blessed with children and none of my nieces or nephews are interested). I told my friend what I plan and she said she was telling her husband the same thing (as her daughters and granddaughters are not interested either). We really have got to find more young people to inspire!!!!

Aww, this makes me so sad! If I were closer, I would scoop it up!! I don't have anyone in my family except my MIL who sews or quilts. I can only imagine where my stuff will go. I do have an Art major daughter who would likely take it all to keep her memories of me close-I hope so, anyway. I can't imagine letting something like this go! I pray that this goes to someone who will appreciate it!

I will keep an eye on it . . . hopefully he'll delete the listing, because it sells!

I wish my daughter had some interest in sewing or crafts... but she doesn't.

My mother taught me lots of things - sewing, crafting, knitting, crocheting, gardening... but I haven't been able to pass them on. (sigh)

This is exactly one of the reasons that I don't feel guilty that I have 2 big plastic boxes of quilt tops and more in the works. I have 2 daughters, neither of whom sew (altho' the oldest is a wannabe sewer ... just never seems to get started). Anyhow, they both love my quilts, so if I die with lots of just tops, they can pay someone to finish them. BUT ... if I don't get the tops made that I want to make and for for which I bought fabric, etc., it is my wish that whatever fabric and equipment my girls don't want will go to ladies who make a lot of quilts for charity.

I garage sail. Sometimes I find a garage or estate sale that has quilting fabric and notions. It makes me sad because there probably were a lot of quilts, given more time, that would have been created. Then I think a little longer and realize that I would be happy to contribute to the ongoing art of quilting. Kind of like being a part of the future.

If I lived closer I would be there in a heartbeat. I'd call to see if it would fit in my Jeep. But I have a hitch on the back and would rent a small trailer. Wow all that for $45.00. Hmm. If I knew I could trust anyone on Craigslist, I would call and see how big a box it would fit in and how much it weighs. Then pay for shipping and the $45.00. I always have room for more. I make room. We all know how much layer cakes cost even when some are on sale. It's tempting but I have other things coming up and I'm not a gambler. If he doesn't get it sold then he can donate it to a local guild. if I buy anything on Craigslist, it needs to be close.

I sent him an E-mail, to see if still available.

I am not that far away (about an hour).

No rely as yet.

I just got off the phone with an aunt who quilts. She is now 79 and has no one to leave her stuff to. She asked me if I would like a box or two of fabric. Yes Yes Yes was my reply. What a nice surprice. It is like Christmas
