It's nice to have a bit of a stash. Adds color and purpose to a life. But that much... is kind of sad. She didn't come close to using it up. I truly hope she got a great deal of pleasure from acquiring it. 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? |
Oh my God. I am shocked. How much did you take home with you? I am overwhelmed just looking at it and thinking it belonged to one person and not a quilt shop. Wow!!

I was saying 'WOW!' at each picture as I scrolled down. Looks like the prevailing thought!
|
Wish I could have gone to the sale. Paradise!!!

I was so exhausted by that point that I gave up, went home and put on my pj's!

Wow! My hubby has nothing to complain about after seeing that! LOL It's just mind-boggling. And as long as she was happy, who cares. And I would bet that if she was that good of a quilter, she got hit up alot from charities for donations to auction as fundraisers.

That stash is amazing! The owner obviously had a passion for quilting and had some wonderful ideas of what to do with all those supplies. It's a shame she wasn't able to put it to use, but those that participated in the event will benefit from her love!

She didn't have to worry about leaving her stash behind. In heaven we probably will have an unending supply and plenty of time to work with the fabric that we need. :)

That is unbelievable.
