I sent this to my husband. In the subject line I put "I need more." Can't wait to hear his reply. LOL

Wow!
I wonder if she taught classes....it always makes me sad to think of all the information and history that is lost.
The quilts in the background look beautiful!

I have a quote in my studio.

"She who dies with the most fabric isn't sewing fast enough!!

My reaction is- wow, who FOLDED all that fabric and organized it for the sale? The lady who owned it may have had some organization in her home, but how did they move all that stuff and get it ready for the sale? (Just wondering if whoever did it would like to come stay at my house a couple of days!)

The auctioneers "team" and her 4 daughters organized and folded. They more or less grouped it by colors etc.

Wow I don't have anywhere near that amount in my stash. I guess it's off to the LQS!

Wish I could run across any sale, or store like that. Hope you brought alot ome.

Has anybody considered that she may not have purchased all this herself? She may have had a shop at some point or some of it may well have been gifts. In the bee I once belonged to we always gave fabric for gifts. It was not unusual to take home 10-15 yards for a birthday! Just a friendly thought. : )

Where in Mo. did she live?

She had a "reputation" as an awesome quilter. So, obviously she used it. Who cares about if her family recouped the money she spent on it. I surely don't live now to leave my family a rich inheritance when I die. I plan on living large and enjoying myself while I'm on this planet. So, instead of spending all this money on fabric, she could have invested it in the stock market and lost $200,000 of her retirement $ when the market crashed....at least she had the fabric!
