None of my family or friends quilt, so when that time comes or get's near, I'll give hubby my name & password for this board. When you see 'She's Gone' make sure you read it, he'll be giving away my stash.
I was just thinking about this the other day, why...I don't know. :shock:

I have one daughter and 2 daughters-in-law and none of them have any desire to quilt or sew. I have grandaughters and they don't sew either. It's been a standing joke around the family that when I die, they can sell all my books and material and go to Disney World. that should prompt them to sell it for what it's worth and not give away prices. altho, come to think about it, most of it came from garage sale give away prices. oops . I will be singing with the angles too and won't care.

Hopefully they'll play nice and everybody will get what they want and find a good home for the rest.

We have lost a couple of members of the local quilting guild. The families held a private sale for the members who could purchase what they wanted and then they opened it to the public as a garage sale and sold the rest. I have a daughter who quilts and a couple of grand daughters who are just beginning to quilt so mine will probably be taken care of, however I think it would be a good idea to establish who gets what and find out what they would like.

I read somewhere about a lady who said when she died she wanted everyone she had made quilts for to bring the to the funeral home and display them. She didn't care how worn they were. She didn't want any flowers, just the quilts. I guess it was a beautiful service and everyone thought it was wonderful.
