I've been trying just to get motivated and I did that just yesterday after having learned a friend passed away. Sadly that friend and his wife had become a ward of ACS (Adult Care Services) in an emergency. Both children live out of state. His son is trying to get custodial care of his wife so the state can't confiscate property. It's a mess. Priorities have become much more forefronted.

Don't wait can and should apply to many things. Don't wait to go visit or call people you love. Don't wait to move to a better area. Don't wait to take that trip you have always dreamed of taking. I know sometimes jobs and finances prevent us from doing what we dream of doing but do it if you can.
I have many regrets of things I was going to do in the future that will now never happen.

In two years time four of my friends have passed away, all of them in their late 50's and early 60's. So I adopted the "use it, wear it" mentality since then. My goal is to not purchase any more fabric or sewing stuff unless I really need it. My husband and I have a living trust and trusts set up for our grandkids. In it I have stated who gets my sewing stuff and my husband put down who gets his woodworking shop. We have given a copy of those pages to the people involved so they know to contact the surviving spouse and pick up the stuff.

I told my DH when I die or something happens to me that I cant sew any more, that I will all my fabrics and any thing that has to do with sewing or crafting will go to my friend in church who has been teaching any one that was interested in quilting. A I introduced him to her so they both know, I know she will share and be fair. I just wanted to be sure that it did not ended up wasted

I agree. I totally finish one quilt and start another. I sew in the evenings after work and on weekends between doing laundry and housework. I make about 10 or 12 quilts a year.
I am able to sew now but, no one knows what the future may hold. I bought my vast amount of fabric for me to use and that is what I am trying to do.
