I am a 77 yr old gal who is spending my remaining years... "using up what i have"... I have long figured out that the "shopping" was a bigger part of the hobby than the actual "doing"... I hope lots of people see your video and take heed...My Sister was a yard sale freak and when she passed i inherited it all... to add to mine... my daughter does NOT sew... I have a yearly "sale" in our community of scrap quilts that i sell for 10.00!!! Yup you heard right... the joy of watching them fly off the table with people being so happy is something i live for! The "Charms on Point" from MSQC... is my go to.. i make about 2 a week... and i quilt them on my midarm with a stipple!

Hello Melanie. Melanie here. Lol I did finally finish a project I started twenty years ago. A nice twin size scrappy quilt. Then sold it at a craft fair. Anything is possible.

We lost my mother-in-law 3 years ago and she was an avid quilter. I will say it is a bitter sweet blessing to inherit her stash. So much stuff to go through and add to my own, finish and cherish, but it gets overwhelming. There is healing in the process. What this caused me to do is go through every single unfinished project of mine and write out a little note with any ideas plans pattern thread ANYTHING that does with that project so my kids do not have to guess (I also have a note for who it was to go to) between my mother in law and myself I think I have about 40 projects to complete 😕 I better not start anything new LOL

I would have loved to hear you say how much you loved and appreciated her and her love for quilting…..I didn’t know her but she deserved some credit here from her daughter in law.. just out of respect . It I do understand your enthusiasm and I’m sure that you cared for her a lot.

my mom was a quilter and I got her material.

I AM WITH YOU FINISH WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING NEW

Beautiful quilt, and Beautiful singing voice!!!

I actually inherited tons of sewing and quilting things from a friend who passed away last year. I went thru it all and donated a lot to a local quilt guild.

So sorry for your loss. Looks like your mother-in-law had a lot of fun shopping for fabric. Shopping is part of the joy. I do the same thing I have enough fabric to last me a lifetime. if someone says they’re going to the fabric store I’m the first one in the car, lol thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing you finish your mother-in-law’s memories. Enjoy the journey.

I recently helped my bestie empty her mother's house, she was an avid quilter and I came home with so much of everything, had to rearrange the sewing room to fit everything. Have since used some material to make a quilt for my bestie.💜🇦🇺

I inherited my grandmother’s sewing machine and it turned up with a cabinet and several bags of fabric that were unexpected extras filled with treasures. Have made a variety of things for the family from what I call the nana stash.

Why don't you have a "bell icon"? you know the one you click on to get ALL the videos on a channel? My first time seeing your channel. I joined because I liked it. I am one of the ones you were preaching to, to finish what I start and get my fabric finished!! I am 71, time's a ticking!!

You are a lucky lady to have another in law who quilted. I never had a sewer in my family. Nice to have her fabrics.

First time here and thank you so much. I am 81 and love watching many people quilt and make things and I keep putting off making one.

What a lot you’ve dealt with! You and your husband should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished!

So sorry for your loss

My unfinished projects are revenge on my kids for their teen years.

Girl i told myself that for years 🤣🤣🤣

As a “textile collector “,this makes me want to cry. What a honor to her and her treasures that you will be using them and treasure them.

With the prices going up on fabrics now, you can enjoy all this lovely fabric.
