:shock: I have an extremely small stash (2 plastic containers). I really try my best not to buy unless I'm going to use it. It also helps that we're military and we move every 2-3 years on average and while they move us for "free" if we go over our weight allowance it does cost us.
I showed my hubby these pictures - now what I do have doesn't seem so bad LOL Good luck in your 2008 goals! |
That stash is just awsome. I swear to you I can walk into a shop here in Spain and they donīt have that many fabrics and my friend Izy will back me up on that one.
If I was that lucky to have that many fabrics I would store them in plastic boxes colour co-ordinated............IF I had that much patience to sort them :lol: Good luck with that one tell us when you come up for air ... Elle |
I have been similarly inspired. So last weekend I made the requisite trip to Wallly World. I've only been quilting for a little over a year, so the damage isn't too bad yet. I have a small bin for fat quarters (I know you don't use them, but I snap them up when JoAnn's has them for 99 cents). I have another small bin for brights. Then I got a couple of big tubs for lights and for darks. Right now my quilting is situated in my dining room, so I have to keed the "stuff" factor down.

I made my hubby come look at these pictures of 'stashes'... told him, "see, I'm not the only one"! :mrgreen:

Oh my! I have one tub for scraps and since my current projects want squares I have a huge box split up into 6 different colors. But that's all stuff I'm working with in the here and now, maybe you should ask Patrice? I just love her sewing room photos.

I'm in awe!! I love your stash! Makes me want to feel them with my fingers. I try to organize mine by color, but I keep having to reorganize because I don't know what it's like to go to the quilt shop and not buy more. This week alone I was sooo bad. Had to wait at work for some info so I "shopped" on Ebay and then a work trip took me past a favorite shop and it called my name and $70 later, I'm in love with more fabric.
Nice to know I'm not alone in this "hoarding" of fabric. I'm surprised we haven't created a shortage. :) Barb |
Ok, here you go.
Let me warn you...it's a mess. I was looking for something and now have to put this room back together. |
ok, I have tried 3 times now to attach pictures. It won't let me.
I will give it a few minutes and try again. |
