And everyone knows you don't have to do anything with a collection - its there just for enjoyment. I always tell everyone that I don't have a fabric "stash", I have a fabric collection. I don't have to use it up; if I did it wouldn't be a collection anymore! As long as I keep my collections neat (sort of) and can enjoy touching them, looking at them, playing with them, etc. then I can buy whatever my budget and space will allow. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I love your 'Story' can I 'Stick to It Too'?

Stamp collectors don't use their stamps, why should we use our fabric. And isn't it insulation

When DH asks this week if I really need to buy more quilting supplies this week I am going to tell him your collection theory.

My husband collects guns just because he likes them, so I can buy fabric just because I like it right? My hobby is cheaper and that's the story I'm sticking to!!!
