My stash is my inspiration-wouldn't want to be without it

Now THAT is an important stash!!!!!!!! I am assuming it was protected because of that prayer!!! Nothing is too small of a request!! :) :) :thumbup:

I've discovered over the past few years that I refer to my stash less and less. I have TONS of fabric sitting in two homes that hasn't been referred to or used in years and most of it is gorgeous! I now only buy what I need for a specific project. This way I am able to select exactly what I need and want. I am downsizing everything in my life. Machines included...I have four!

Right now I am trying to curb my fabric spending, so I just "shop" my stash.

Extremely important. Before I was a quilter I was a seamstress with a stash. Many a complete wardrobe and prom dress came from that stash. My DD used to come up with an idea, we'd open up the stash closet and shop for the right fabric. Yesterday my DGD ,who is here visiting, picked out the fabric for her quilt from my stash. It was wonderful. She is so happy and I was so touched watching her. Her eyes lit up as I pulled the fabrics out for her to see.

i love my stash. hubby even built me a 48x36" cart on wheels for my bolts. he built a cabinet that extends nearly to the ceiling for cuts/quarters. i have become the family fabric store over the years, and my daughters come over to "shop" when they need fabric for kid's clothes, projects, costumes--but they keep their hands off the stash of cottons for quilting unless they have special dispensation!

If I lost it all I wouldn't be that upset about it. I'd get to buy more!
