The thought of that boggles my mind.

She can't be human - must besome kind of robot or something like that. Even if you buy just what you need for a project there is always some left over.

We're about to close on a house (Tuesday)it's a sad little house in desperate need of a lot of love and renovation. It's going to be taking up most of our money for a few years to come. I was lucky enough that when we started looking for a house I knew I wanted one with a sewing room and I had NO fabric. There are some projects/techniques that I'm dying to try and I went on the board and asked if anyone had some scraps they wanted to get rid of so I could get a large enough assortment of scraps to do a scrap project. Quite a few very generous people were kind enough to send me what they consider scraps, usually just for the price of the postage, some didn't even want that.
God Bless them, because now I have enough that I can sit down and not worry about where the fabric is going to come from and I can start up quilting again. I'm thrilled that I'll be able to work with a nice assortment of colors and designs that I would never be able to afford if I had to go out and purchase them. I'm sticking strictly to sale fabrics and yard sale purchases and buying boxes of scraps on here. I have to admit I'd rather have a batch of tiny pieces to play with than a huge single piece that would give no variety.

I have a stash and proud of it. I love to be able to, at whatever hour I can, go in there and pull fabric out and make something. My DH is the one who, when I showed him something I just made, asked about the fabric, I said that I had it in my stash, his reply was, "then it was free."
So, with my stash, I can make enough free projects to last a lifetime.
But, I still need more fabric. You never know when you are shopping and think you purchased the perfect fabric for something and low and behold when you get it home, you think, I really don't care for that, you go to the stash and find the just right fabric. Love it!

My hubby thinks I should "stash" tools. He is a mechanic and has more tools than he'll ever need, so he always thinks I need every little thing, lol! If I mention any kind of gadget, he's like "you should get it!"

I don't know if fabric counts, but he seems to think I should get a lot of that too, "just in case"

You can send me some scraps. I just started quilting and I thought the idea was to get a stash.

I have a sewing room/office too! It used to be an office, but now seems more like a sewing room, lol. The PC and office desk is still there, but the PC plays background music while I sew.

My stash is plentiful! I started collecting tee shirts when I traveled, the started collecting Christmas ornaments, and now I collect fabrics! This gives me a big variety. I also inherited SEVERAL yard of fabric from my aunt's stash when she died. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I enter a fabric shop.

When does one consider the material on hand a "stash"?

I can't say I have no stash. I have scraps of fabric left over from projects (less than a half yard at most) and a few larger pieces that I purcahsed and forgot what I had gotten them for. Everything I have quilting wise can fit into a laundray basket.

But really, I don't have a stash.
