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!!!

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? |
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. warm quilt hugs, sue in CA |
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)

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.
