I dunno... maybe it's just me, but the older I get the less desire I have to collect anything at all. I still like looking at pretty things, I just no longer feel the need to own it. Just looking is enough.
I wonder if I'm the only one?[/quote]
Im with ya there! I LOVE looking, then I look around in my house and figuring what we really need and what we should get rid of.

It's nice to have a bit of a stash. Adds color and purpose to a life.
But that much... is kind of sad. She didn't come close to using it up. I truly hope she got a great deal of pleasure from acquiring it.

This is really sad, and honestly makes me sick.

I would love to have met this woman. I'll bet she was incredible.

I bet she was too. She must have been in her early 80's, had 4 daughters and quilted for friends, family, and others.

WOW!!!! What a shame to have so much fabric and never be able to use it all. It makes me look at my meager stash and want to stop buying fabric NOW because I know I'll never use all I have now. If anyone needed to be on HOARDERS it was this woman. I know she probably enjoyed making quilts and was probably a VERY talented quilter, but enough is enough!!!!
