I asked my daughter to divide my stash in 35 grocery bags, so that every member of my guild will have a memento, this is my way to tell them how I enjoyed them.

I put it in my will.

I want a couple of my friends to have my quilting things and if there is stuff they don't want they can donate to the church. I am widowed and told my friends and my kids what I wanted done with my quilting things. A person never knows and I don't want it thrown away.

I told my husband to marry another quilter. It would make it a lot easier on him!

yes, I have thought about it. I told my bff that I want one of my daughters, my granddaughter and her to have all my stuff after my husband looks through and claims any tools he wants.
I have many things that I use that came out of the tools sections of hardware stores, and some vinyl and even a little bit of leather that he may want,...which may surprise him.
I need to put it in writing, so everyone will know what I want and my friend won't feel uncomfortable.
If I don't do this, it's quite possible dh will back the truck up to the window and toss away! :eek:

I told my husband to make sure my granddaughters get all my quilting stuff.
He assured me my 'stuff' would not end up at the Agape house.

lol, that's a clever and funny answer. high five! :D

I do think of it and it makes me sick but it would for sure go in a landfill of be burnt. :(

I hope this isn't disrespectful, but as a mid-30's lover of all things "vintage" I LOVE finding estate sales, CL and ebay sales of some dear and departed person's stash! To be able to afford small bits of someone else's history makes my day! I could never afford to buy all "new" craft/decor so finding these things, even below what they are worth monetarily means a lot to me. So please don't be too upset if some of your well loved things are sold by family who aren't interested. Someone WILL find and love your things :)

I'm not worried about my sewing stuff. If hubby and I leave this world together, our son says he will be having a big yard sale.
