Amazing! Hard to believe someone could have all of that!

O that poor women, boy did she need help in the worst way,
that was hoarding in the extreme :shock: |
Holy cow!!!! It looks like enough fabric to open two or three quilt shops! I hope it all finds really good homes.
|
Holy crap.....that's a lot of fabric. I can see from the quilts in the back that she made a lot of quilts.....but really what was she thinking??!!

Was this the auction that was either in West Plains or Ava, MO? I had some friends go look and they left because of sssssooooooooooooooooooooo many people.

Wow, now that is a lot of fabric. Guess I don't have that much after all.

A couple of years ago there was this lady in town who commited suicide and had just about the same thing. Fabric by the bolts, kits, rotary cutters, scissors, rulers,paints, yarns, every craft that you can think of, etc and not just one of something, she had at least a dozen or more of things. Sewing machines went for nothing. She had those expensive baskets and not just 1, but over 200!
If you've seen the show hoarders, this is what her house/garage and yard looked like. It was so very sad. |
oh my god i would be in seventh heaven with all that fabric

Let's not be so quick to judge this lady. We don't know how and why she acquired so much fabric in what seems to have been a long life. The fact is she was a quilter and apparently loved doing it. I can think of a lot of other things she could have spent her money and time doing worst than fabric. At least her children can recoup money from something she enjoyed. How many people spend money on things that have absolutely no value to anyone but them. Hopefully some beautiful quilts and clothing will be made from these fabrics. I like to think she was smiling seeing all those people wanting what she had.
