I do not like the idea of someone else getting my fabric when I am gone, but it will happen. I keep buying fabric and the stash is growing instead of shrinking. But I will keep buying, because I like to have the fabric on hand.

I would like to live long enough to not be able to buy more fabric. :D I don't think it's fair to leave a big organizing and clean up for my family to have to deal with. If I leave it in a hoarded mess then it serves me right to have it stuffed in boxes and hauled to the dump. I had an aunt die and it was up to me to clean out her house. She saved everything! It was too much and by the second week I was angry and just wanted it gone.

It's not JUST my fabric stash. I have several machines, software, a bazillion embroidery designs, embroidery thread stash, quilting thread stash, also a half-bazillion notions, including rulers and templates AND ... here's the thing: like the rest of you, I'm not getting any younger either and, when I die, everything will very likely go to ladies whom I've never met and who make quilts as gifts for children, military personnel, etc. One of my 2 daughters will never have any interest in sewing and the other, who will inherit my Singer treadle machine would probably also like to have my embroidery machine and all that goes with it. The problem there is that I've tried to teach her to sew and it's hopeless. I have no grandchildren or DIL. That leaves me with only 2 rational options: (1) stop buying stuff and (2) hope to use most of my existing stash before I leave this earth.
