She lived in a tiny house and had a garage and small storage building.

I'll bet this thread wins for the most posts beginning with W.O.W. too funny. Lots of comments about what a wonderful quilter she must have been. Maybe she didn't quilt at all - just collected!!!

I dunno... maybe it's just me, but the older I get the less desire I have to collect anything at all. I still like looking at pretty things, I just no longer feel the need to own it. Just looking is enough.

I wonder if I'm the only one?
As I am now in my retired years, I am feeling more and more like you. I look at some of the stuff I've purchased and wonder WHY, WHY, WHY did I ever buy that.

This was an auction? I was wondering how much they priced the fabrics till I saw it was the last part of the 'auction'.

Do you know if the fabrics went for a good price? The thing about auctions, lots of people get caught up in 'auction fever' and spend too much. Sometimes a good deal can be had.

Now I don't feel bad about my stash. Too bad that lady didn't use more of hers or give it to friends or charity groups.

Glad I missed it. I would have to mortgage both of my children and my son-in-law if I went. But, if I took them, we never would have stopped without me being tied up and gagged. (Yes, they know SOME of my secrets)

It's not necessarily just about fabric, either, is it? All sorts of knick-knacks, shiny jewelry, boodles of holiday decor... all of the stuff that just gets dusted and moved from place to place, or that gets tangled up in a drawer.

After looking at this, I will never again pass by an auction. So much fabric, what a shame she didn't have family to share it with and it went to auction.
