Can anyone tell me where to find the form for a "quilter's will?"
I had printed it from the internet once a long time ago. Of course now that I'd like to fill it out and put it where it can be found whenever necessary, it's nowhere in the house. I'm not on my deathbed, don't worry. A couple of my quilty friends and I were talking about what on earth would happen to all of our treasured quilting stuff when the "time" comes. (we're all of a certain age) I think DH would just give it all to the thrift shop if they'd come clear out the room for him. But I'd rather certain things went to certain people. Sure I could just leave a note, but I KNOW there is a form somewhere. Anyone know where? :lol: |
this should help.

Thanks again. 8-) |
Oh my gosh. . I never thought of that. Just like people who think they should pay $5.00 for a hand made quilt would have no idea what it really is worth, same with my husband. He would proably just toss any fabric. :)

ok Bev, I will keep looking

Hi,
Why can't you just include it in your main will as my attorney stated to me that you can word it how you want to give things to others. Wow! a Quilters Will! Karen |

well Bev, if you are concerned about them having a good home, you can avoid the heartache from heaven and just send them to me now. I will take very good care of them.

It will be up to my DD to dispense them as she sees fit. I have told her I want Grandkids and Great Grandkids to have any quilts I leave and she can have my 5 sewing machines, etc. and all the fabric she wants, the rest she can see if a church group would want it. 2 Granddaughters don't sew and don't want to learn.

I already made my will a couple years ago and never thought of my sewing machines and boxes of fabrics. My son told me, "Don't worry mom, I plan on having a big yard sale."
|
I have mentioed in passing to my DH what/who things should go to. Start with DIL and Sons what do they want, friends then students next,after that sell what he needs to and then notify my quilt guild.
I told him I would create a speedsheet in excel, and have accessories labeled as to which machine they go to. If someone comes across the quilters will I would use it also. |
gee that really is a bad thought, I only have one daughter inlaw right now as my other to boys arent married yet, maybe they never will ones 29 this may. my daughter inlaw dose not sew at all, she likes paper crafts. I will have to put some thought in that one.

This is kind of weird but I was just thinking about this the other night too. I have four boys & one dil right now who doesn't care about quilting at all. I know my husband would just get rid of everything as he has threatened to do many times with all my tubs of fabric. I was thinking of writing up something so that when the time comes they would know what I wanted done with it (hopefully not for another 70 or so years & that would put me at 130 years old so maybe I would have gotten through some of my stash!) If you do find the will or if someone comes up with a good form let me know because I know I have to have something in writing. DH has no clue how much money I have invested.

Aw heck, if my DH dumps my stuff in a dumpster, I'll just come back and haunt him forever! :lol:
|
My DD & DSI say they are going to have two dumpsters brought in and start filling them.........I will come back & haunt them! I think I'd better stop buying fabric and start sewing more.
