Welcome to the Quilting Board!
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"???
Possibly an urge to "nest" expecting a rough winter this year...
I just saw a segment on the Weather Channel last night that said they expected rough winter won't be. Evidently the front or trough they expected to develop as cooler actually will be warmer so most of the country will be above average except for the Washington and Oregon areas.Originally Posted by LTeachergeorge
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.
Yes, same here. But--- we don't have a need for staying inside here in South Louisiana. My nest is so full of stash, that I could hibernate for years and not use it all up, yet I still have the urge to add to it. As new fabrics and designs come out, they are so "neccessary" for my stash.
One step at a time, always forward.
With the economy failing left and right, it's probably instinctive.

By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.

I have the same feeling as you Neesie. Can't get rid of the feeling that something BIG is pending. My freezers are full, I have been canning like crazy and my stash is still growing.

I think this a is an exciting topic, to learn so many are 'feeling' the sense of 'something big' coming. As a Christian I believe in what that something is; it's interesting to find that it's a common 'knowing' though it may be among those who may not share the same theology.
There has also been a lot of press lately (for lack of anything else interesting??) on the "Mayan Calendar issue" supposedly due in December that may have people subconsciously in mind of looming crisis. Of course, with that one we needn't be buying more fabric if we're not going to be around to sew it up, huh!! Wonder if hiding under a huge stack of quilts would help us?

I agree with you Jan. If what I feel is right I will not be here to use what I am stocking up on but maybe someone will find my stock pile useful.
Fabic is extra insulation, right? That's my story and I' m sticking to it.
