I love opening my cupboard and seeing all my fabrics. I can remember where I got them all, and it makes me happy to sit and think about all the possibilities that may come from all that virgin fabric.

somebody hacked into my account and now the bank has closed my debit card and is issuing me a new one. while i wait for it, i am without funds on line. i have cash for stores, but i'm at home. it is the first time i have been successful with the fabric moratorium. not sure this is healthy! lol.

I am still a noobie too. yesterday I was at Joanne's and wanted to get some fabric to make a 7 year old boys quilt. I walked that store 3 times and couldn't find a fabric I like and couldn't think of a pattern to start with.....so I bought more black/white fabric quarters. I just can't stay away from the whole black/white color scheme. Then we went to Wal-Mart and I bought several yards of particular crackle pink I had previously purchased from them and couldn't find (THAT taught me that when I buy something bty in the future to purchase LOTS of it!) and more black/white fabric quarters. I have enough black/white fabric quarters to make many quilts from. I just finished my second quilt last night (black/white themed) am almost finished with my son's quilt top (black/white themed with red). I quilt slowly, but I purchase rapidly!!!LOL

Look into my eyes: you will build a large stash and have a couple of tubs filled with scraps. <Do ya think it worked?>LOL
welcome to the world of stashing: Yes you may find it next week on sale or NOT; YES you may not like it; but someone else will and want something made out of it, lets see what else ? Ohhhhhhhhh the colors: yes yes; you may never find that coloring again !LOL

I have been building a stash since about 2001. When I started I
was only buying 1/4 yard cuts and if I liked it A LOT then I bought
1/2 to 1 yard.
That was BEFORE I started quilting. Now I have so much fabric that
I have a dedicated room for fabric (youngest daughters old bedroom)
separate from my sewing room (formerly known as a dining room).
