I'm wondering if they sold it all? And, if not, what happened to it?

Are you kidding? There were 2 ladies there that each probably spent well over $1000 each------it made the rest of us a little upset.

Kudos to the organizers of the sale. That's how I'd like my stash organized!

You know, I think that is really sad. There is no way in the world anyone could use that much fabric. She was a definite hoarder, and just think of all the donations that could have been made to a quilters guild, or some other organization that would have made very good use of all that.
When is enough enough?

Wow is right! I've been avoiding buying "extra" material since I've just started quilting...and felt a "stash" might be unnecessary since I am trying to do one project at a time. (Ha!) I have never seen so much material in one place...possibly more than in a QS.

This post makes me so sad. Maybe we should call ourselves
"fabric collectors". Quiltmaking is just the enabler.
Remember Imelda Marcos? She "needed" all those shoes because she had to attend many public functions. Happy quiltmaking, I hope!
