Being of Sound Mind
Taria, I know. That being of 'sound mind' does presume a lot, doesn't it?
I'm reckoning that I need to watch my diet, take my vitamins and exercise. Need to hang on a while until there's an heir who would love to have the treasures I don't get to. We have two unmarried grandsons who are unattached. Maybe I'll be blessed with a grand dil who creates. It could happen. Polly "Taria" wrote in message ... You kind of lost me with the 'being of sound mind' part of this. lol There have been a few losses in our local quilting community here as of late. Much has gone to charity and others sold at yard sales. I think some of this stuff just is forever shuffled around. I don't think there is anyone in the family that has any interest in my stash. DH has been advised that if I 'go first' he just should marry another quilter. Thank you for getting me really thinking of this stuff. You are right, nothing should be assumed. I am sorry for your losses. That is tough. My heart goes out to you all. Hugs, Taria will. What a terrible 'assume'. What a painful 'assume'. If you get run down by a motorcycle in the aisle at prayer meeting Wednesday night at the First Methodist Church - would your stash be sold at an Estate Sale for 25¢ a yard? And why wouldn't that be okay? Maybe someone who quilts would cherish it. Would it be stuck in a storage rent-all by Greedy Aunt Gertie who will never use it and never turn it loose? Your thoughts?

Polly Since I first read this thread I got busy and cleaned out my 6 drawer bin with pattern & thread, and stuff I won't use and separated it and am taking it this afternoon to an OES friend. It's almost 2 WalMart bags full including 4 cones of thread I hope she can use. Now, I need to start folding cloth and making a neater pile of it in the sewing room! Barbara in SC where it has not rained in a very long time and I've forgotten what it is supposed to sound like. It is supposed to start tonight. |

(in article ): Now I really don't mean to be a downer here but have you considered what/where your tools and stash would go if you passed ( or failed)? There's a little paragraph in my will that says that my opals go to the only October baby in our family. Other than that - not specifically much. Why I mention this is because there have been three very young deaths in our family this year; all so young I guess they never thought they needed a will. What a terrible 'assume'. What a painful 'assume'. If you get run down by a motorcycle in the aisle at prayer meeting Wednesday night at the First Methodist Church - would your stash be sold at an Estate Sale for 25¢ a yard?

Polly Good question. We're working on wills now, and I know I will have to do something about that. Likely, I'll have the stash donated to our ASG chapter for use in charity projects or for sale with the money to be used for the charity projects. Finished quilts? Not so sure. Too many for my sister and sisters-in-law to want them all. I'm still noodling what to do with the rest of my studio. Wonder if I can have "studio executer" like my quilting buddies to handle that aspect. Maureen |

It's always sad to say goodbye to loved ones but particularly those that have not had very full lives yet. To those others reading and curious, you want a good 'estate' attorney for wills and powers of attorney. Speak with elders you know for recommendations or go to your local 'Shark & Shark' attorney offices. It's worth the $$. As to me - don't really have a 'stash' per se - just leftovers from overbuying for projects. Machines & tools are a different story. Worst case I think they will go to a friend's daughter who is a young, up & coming quilter. Or another friend's daughter who is into 'fashion design'. No one else in the family and most friends just aren't interested. Kim in NJ |
