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?[/quote]

Im with ya there! I LOVE looking, then I look around in my house and figuring what we really need and what we should get rid of.

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.

Your not the only one. I am 27 and I feel this way. In the end the money was wasted. Time was wasted having to sort and box it all up. I hope prior to spending so much money on fabric I hope she took care of after life care. I could only imagine the family...."If only we could pay her funeral bills with all this fabric she has".

This is really sad, and honestly makes me sick.

Are you trying to tell me we can't take our stashes with us??
I would love to have met this woman. I'll bet she was incredible.

I bet she was too. She must have been in her early 80's, had 4 daughters and quilted for friends, family, and others.

WOW!!!! What a shame to have so much fabric and never be able to use it all. It makes me look at my meager stash and want to stop buying fabric NOW because I know I'll never use all I have now. If anyone needed to be on HOARDERS it was this woman. I know she probably enjoyed making quilts and was probably a VERY talented quilter, but enough is enough!!!!
