Being of sound mind and body (a statement that does not bear close scrutiny) I ______________ do hereby record my last will and testament. Knowing that __________, my ____________________ (husband, sister, daughter) has no appreciation, or for that matter knowledge of my extensive fabric collection, which by the way is deposited in various places throughout my house for safekeeping. Knowing also that _________ has also notified the goodwill store should I precede him or her to that great quilt shop in the sky, to pick up and dispose of the aforementioned collection. Therefore I do WILL this collection and all other collections related to it, to my dear fellow fabric preservationist ______________.It is my wish that she, upon hearing of my death and obtaining clear proof of that I did not manage (although goodness knows I tried) to take it with me, will come to my home, before the goodwill store searches out my collection. That she should rescue the said collection and stack it in my quilting studio, along with my sewing machines, frames, old buttons, lace, patterns, quilts, dolls and works in progress. And after she has done that, she should purchase refreshments for all my friends, not yet departed, which friends are also her friends. Every last one shall be in that room and they shall hold a wake and say lots of lovely and kind things about me until they run out and then they shall divide amongst themselves my wonderful collection. Be forewarned! I shall be hovering over that very spot until this is done. They shall then leave this spot and close the door, leaving the car, house, stocks, bonds and other worldly nonsense to those who don't understand or know any better. This is my wish on the matter. Signed: _____________________ Date: ______________________

Very cute. I am already mentally filling in the blanks. Might have to add a P.S. about where some of my fabric is stashed! :o)

LOVE IT1 Thanks

This is so cute and I think that we all feel the same and somebody that does not have the same hobby (lifestyle?) does not understand our feelings towards our possessions, scraps, collection, stuff for better words to describe it. We tend to buy everything in bulk because when we start sewing we open a drawer and take out what we need, then there is no time to shop.I think we are an unique specie!

I'd like to share this with out local fabric stores! Tooo cute and fun too. We all understand this. But, who would my sewing machine go to???

OMGosh! That is fantastic! I will have to share that with hte quilting group, lol!

Love it.....I have forwarded this onto my nearest and dearest sewing buddies. I am so glad we all understand one other!

I had to copy this to share !!

My sentiments exactly

:o)

LOL, I am sure they will love it!!

wow thats fits lots of us on cute lol carolyn

Our quilt guild passed this around several years ago and it's still makes me laugh. Thanks for bringing this back to mind.

this is very true- especially the part about husband having little knowledge of collection!

This is really cute - I think we can all identify with it!!*

I love it. I have already specified to my husband that everything in my sewing room goes to a friend. I am not sure she will be as happy to get it as I am to give it to her. But oh well.

I think I WIll include this in my will..I Love it. Helen

Every Cuties will need a copy of this! Hugs Sally

Hehehe! All appropriate blanks - you can insert my name.
