Is it just nature's way?

A similar urge to stock up is evident in my home. I think it's due to a natural intuitive sense some women have.
But, I stocked up on pork & beans, Ensure, bottled water, Imodium A-D, toilet paper, and batteries for the millennium scare. So what do I know? ~

Might just be the seasonal change Lori. Just came back from a week away and found the joy of the Marden's stores in Maine. Thought I was being conservative but still came home with 16 yards of fabric. Spent most of today refolding fabric and organizing my stash, a task that should have been done long ago. The only thing I need is a personal fabric moratorium. I agree with the dosey of a summer - it was brutal. For certain, I've squirreled away far too much fabric, especially lately.

It's strange , now that the oppressive heat of summer is over ( and this year was a dosey). I am having this irresistable urge to stock up my stash. I have a stash that would last me more than this winter , and several more ... but for some reason I have been " stockpiling" more than typical .... anyone else having this sensation/craving/urge?? Is it just natures way that we build up supplies before winter? Is it possible to "over harvest"???

Brie, DH and I pulled the tomatoes, canned the tomatoes and froze the tomatoes (well she supervised!LOL and would bring us back an errant tomato that decided it didn't want to go in the box !LOL), so if the "whatever happens" we at least have fabric and tomatoes, oh wait peaches too !LOL and taco salsa.

I have large pieces of fabrics in stacks of six high, three stacks per each shelf, on three shelves. Some smaller yardage on 3 other shelves, I moved some of the first two shelves and am always shocked as to how much I have. If I live to be 200 - 300 years old and can still make 12-18 quilts a year I may be able to use most of it. I am continuously making quilts and not making a dent in my fabrics. My oldest Daughter has lots and lots too, we are the only two that sew or quilt in our small family. I don't feel the need to buy any more.
After our horrible hot summer I am looking forward to be able to cook soups,chili,chicken and fluffy dumplings and bake some. I always start graving pumpkin pies at this time of year.

Nesting instincts in us women I think. I went paper for my card crafting to stock piling fabric. Oh ya I have been sewing for years so I already have a stash of fabric from make clothes and Christmas stockings and a lot of other varies things. I don't know when I look for quilting fabric I just can't find what I am looking for in what I have. Lol

We'll see but I stock us as well in case we get 4 feet of snow and can't get to the store for material.
