My reaction is- wow, who FOLDED all that fabric and organized it for the sale? The lady who owned it may have had some organization in her home, but how did they move all that stuff and get it ready for the sale? (Just wondering if whoever did it would like to come stay at my house a couple of days!)

Has anybody considered that she may not have purchased all this herself? She may have had a shop at some point or some of it may well have been gifts. In the bee I once belonged to we always gave fabric for gifts. It was not unusual to take home 10-15 yards for a birthday! Just a friendly thought. : )

I didn't know her, but I'm sure she had a chuckle when she looks down and saw all the quilters salivating over her "treasures" - so! When you seee an auction advertised - EXPLORE it! -

She had a "reputation" as an awesome quilter. So, obviously she used it. Who cares about if her family recouped the money she spent on it. I surely don't live now to leave my family a rich inheritance when I die. I plan on living large and enjoying myself while I'm on this planet. So, instead of spending all this money on fabric, she could have invested it in the stock market and lost $200,000 of her retirement $ when the market crashed....at least she had the fabric!
