I've named all my cars I've owned, but never thought of naming the fabric collection. I'd have to have two categories: Modern and Historical. Modern I've purchased and the Historical is material collected and passed down from my Mother, Grandmother and a few precious pieces from my Great Grandmother! Same with the sewing patterns!

How do I call my stash? Hey stash, hey stash, hey little stash. Just could not pass up this opportunity. Stash, I call it my stash. My kids call my quilting stuff my "crack." They say I am as addicted as any crack head and even refer to my magazines as "Mom's crack." Those silly kids!

best part of having the historical fabric, my Great-grandmother was 59 when I was born, so she was very into the modern fabrics (of the time). I have at least 2 or 3 yards that are really slinky, knits that are blinding brights. (late 50's, early 60's) No good for quilting, but very fun to threaten my very conservative daughter with! I also have a 3 or 4 yard cut of bright blue cotton with flocked daisy's on it. I remember having dresses out of similar fabrics, so the granddaughter may yet get a top. It's been protected from moisture and bugs, so it will be fun to work on a small piece of it. Then I save the rest for HER grandchildren! Hmmm, maybe a 3rd category, "Pass it ON"!

My stash.
My DD calls it Hoarding ....... she also keeps telling me I should do only one project at a time ..... she's going to have fits this summer when we visit and I start going to every Row By Row Experience shop in New Jersey the first two weeks we are there, before spending the next two weeks on a road trip throughout Upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
