As others have said, put it in a will. This is the best advice. Hubby can't legally go against your will. If he's not interested in the money for himself then specifically indicate who the money will go to. My husband loves my work and he will want them all that are still here for himself, and my son and grandchildren will cherish them as a reminder of me...but as far as the materials and other tools of trade so to speak, I'm donating what my family doesn't want to my guild to auction off for their own benefit. After my grandmother passed away, my son wanted her treadle, the tiny bits of fabric, and buttons. He's sentimental like that. ...but if no one wants your sewing items then who better to have them than other quilters who will enjoy them.
