This really has me thinking. My youngest DD used to enjoy sewing before she left for college, but hasn't really had time since. She'll graduate soon so maybe she'll get re-interested. I plan to give her an old basic sewing machine once she gets settled into her new home. Meanwhile I think I'll talk with my family about what to do with my stash if anything should happen unexpectedly. I wouldn't want that to be one more burden on them in a time of grief.
I'm sorry for your loss.
