I've been going through boxes of my mother's sewing/quilting things... my sweet DH let me bring a truckload of boxes home when we cleaned out Momma's sewing room... Anyway, I just found a little scrap of paper with her handwriting...

"A stash is where a fabric without a project goes to wait."

It may not be new to many of you, but I'd never heard the phrase and thought you might like it.
Happy Quilting!!

I say, my stash is fabric waiting for its purpose. It just hasn't told me what it wants to be yet!
My mother passed about a year ago, it was fun finding little things like that. They make you smile.

You need to frame that little piece of paper because that is so the truth. Never heard it put that way but I love it.
