Yes. I will shop from my stash, and when the sales of fabric go down, the sellers start having 'sales.' I always shop the sales anyway.

Yes, but usually only buy fabric when it's on sale or at garage sales. I have a large stash, lots of scraps, even have batting laid by....but, it will all run out, if I live long enough. Will need backings some times. But, someone said, the truth.....we keep eating and we keep driving.....we find a way somehow. I'd hang out clothes to dry in order to keep quilting. :)

I have such a stash, I could probably quilt for years and not be effected by a price increase!

You betcha! I will probably use more of my stash and be quite a bit more picky when buying new.

I can't imagine not quilting! I have enough in my stash to last for quite some time, and I am trying to use only what I have, but strangely enough, when a project is started, maybe I don't have just the right thing--hence a trip to the QS and see more that I just have to add to my stash. :thumbup:
