The joke used to be that who ever went first, me or my quilt buddy, the other would get their stuff. Now, my oldest granddaughter has become quite the quilter. The family knows that anything for quilting goes to her.

Stuff goes to older DD first, sis in law second, sale at my church third. Hopefully they can hold the FIRESTARTER off.

I'd have to come back and hurt someone if hubby burns everything like he's like to.

I took everything my mother left that related to her quilting that I possibly could. Wish I could have taken it all!!!! I am trying to decide who gets what when I'm done here so that they won't be burdened with what to do with everything. Fortunately, I have one quilter in the family now and another crafter and perhaps a third, so I know the girls will take my sewing room and the other rooms as well. I just want to know that it is treasured after I'm gone because that is all that will be left!

Heck, I even wrote down some of the things I have done in my life as there is a lot they still don't know.
