Scored, but now completely overwhelmed!! (And thankful!)
My cousin called my today and said she is selling her house soon, and did I want to come over and get her "sewing stuff". She hasn't been quilting for several years, and is downsizing. She's already donated her fabric to her church. She said she didn't have much, but I was welcome to it. 6 totes later, I now have 34 books/magazines. 45 assorted rulers. 50+ patterns. 14 rotary cutters, and 46 blades. 35+ packages of sewing machine needles, and more sewing/embroidery/quilting needles than I know what to do with. There's an assortment of scissors and snips, and an abundance of notions and accessories. Also, there are a few things I'm not quite sure what they are. My idea of "much" and her idea of "much" are totally different. I've started sorting and making lists of everything, but totally, and completely overwhelmed!!

What a great cousin to have! I recently moved and still have my sewing items packed, I'm living on basic tools right now. Her stash of tools doesn't seem excessive to me. I know how many rulers a large bin will hold. LOL
