I'm on the other end of the stash. My mom used to laugh and tell me "someday this will all be yours". Well, she died rather suddenly and I am overwhelmed with what to do with all the fabric, notions, patterns and gadgets. I have found so many tops that need to be quilted, blocks that came from all over the world from a yahoo email group she once belonged to. I've finally decided to just get rid of any partially done projects that don't have the rest of the pieces nearby. I haven't quilted myself since she died and I have plenty of stash myself so I can't take on most of it. I think you are all smart to be thinking about thinning out your quilt rooms now. Mom just thought she had more time to do it

Life, and death, are unpredictable.
