Also, Joy, the daughter told me they have a garage full of fabric in totes that they haven't gone through and did not have in the sale. But again left my name and number and she is going to call me when they open the fabric up and let me have the opportunity to purchase.

Hope these can now go to quilt APPRECIATORS!!
I had an aunt who had a quickie yard sale when my grandma passed, she had it before anyone from out of state even got in for the funeral. My grandma had died suddenly and had no will. Aunt didn't care what anyone else might want. She lived nearby and wanted to hurry and get it done. Quilts and other handwork were sold off. She thought they weren't worth keeping. All she valued was furniture, china etc. She and her daughter had taken what they wanted. I was just 15 then but I still remember how angry the family was with her. Big arguments. Word to the wise - plan ahead, make a will, mark items and give them to family while you're able!

A friend of mine had an aunt who was very talented and when the aunt died my friend threw out a lot of the craft supplies as she didn't know what they were used for!! So my quilt group have now all made their wills with instructions that all their supplies, books, mags,and fabric must be offered to the group first , and all UFOs work will be finished by the group and sent to charity or given back to the family.
