Talking about leaving your stash in your will...
In town, our antique store got a huge load of quilting stuff from a man whose wife had died and he didn't know what to do with it, so he gave it to them to sell it for him. You wouldn't believe what she had, it looks like a fabric shop in the antique store. Books, fabric, patterns, rulers, etc and that was only the quilting part. She was also a crocheter and did crosss stitch. Everything was marked really low and a lot went, but I stopped in today and there is still so much. It's like having a quilt shop in the store. I told my husband, if I die first, after the girls take what they want, take it to Janet, she'll know what to do!! |
My best quilting buddy and I have informed our men to call the other one to handle it. Knowing them they would sell at 10 Cents a yard. And throw my machines away.

Is there such a thing as too much stash. I don't think so.

There needs to be a way to designate our stuff after we croak. My BFF and I have talked about this a lot! She has in excess of 70tubs of fabric, plus closets, dressers, and filing cabinets. I have no where near that much. Point being, our daughters don't quilt and If one of us doesn't get there first the DD is going to call Goodwill!. What to do?

It sounds like we need a good quilting-lawyer to help us through all this!
