Being of sound mind (a statement which does not bear close examination), I ___________________________________do hereby record my last will and testament.
Knowing that _______________, my ____________(husband, sister or friend) hasn't the least appreciation
for, or for that matter, knowledge of my extensive fabric collection, which collection is suitably deposited in sundry places
for safe keeping.
Knowing also that _____________has already notified the local dumpster that should I precede (him or her) to that great
quilt shop in the sky, to pick up and dispose of the before mentioned collection "willie-nillie" (the thought of which causes
me a most severe case of hives.)
Therefore I do will this collection and all other collections related to it,
to my dear friend and fellow fabric preservationist, ___________________________________________.
It is my wish that she, upon hearing of my death and obtaining clear proof that I did not manage,
although goodness knows I tried, to take it with me, would come to my home post haste, before the dumpster, search out
my collection which is similarly stored to her own. That she should rescue 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 this that she should purchase refreshments for my friends, not yet departed, which friends are also her
friends, and every last one shall be in that room and they shall hold a wake and say lovely and kind things about me until
they run out and then they shall divide amongst themselves, by lot, my wonderful collection. I shall be hovering over that
very spot until this is done.
______________________shall then quit this spot and close the door, leaving the car, the house and all the stocks and
bonds and other worldly trivialities to those who don't understand.
This is my wish on the matter.
