after reading this I realize I am not a hoarder but I have a lot of fabric and it's time to let some go. I have boxes to mail to my 2 DDs- I use fabric as "bubble wrap". They will love it- they are both new to sewing and don't have a lot of stash.
And I guess I will take the 4 bags of clothes to Salvation Army tomorrow- then I won't be "hoarderlike" in my formal living room. :)

I have a lot of fabric, but it wouldn't fill a trailer. My sewing room is about 13x14 feet. I have shelves on one wall that are 8 feet long and they are floor to ceiling. 5 of the shelves are fabric, folded and oraganized by color. The other 3 shelves are bins with projects and scraps sorted by color.
I also have a cd rack that I just added that holds fat quarter bundles that I am just not quite able to dismantle yet.
I have no room for anymore fabric in my room!! I am full. But I am happy with it all.
I make only king sized quilts now, for the most part. I do finish things. My goal is to complete three a year.

I have to tell you I lied. I've lived for years with the rule of never having more supplies than were needed for the project that I was working on. And then only one project at any one time. But Quilting has defeated me. I now have a stash of 5 fat quarters and I'm looking to add an oriental panel and some coordinating fabrics. This is addicting.

It makes me think of the fairy tale about King Midas....or the toddler who gathers all his toys around him and then cannot play with anything because his hands are full.

I have a very large stash, most of which I purchased myself. Mine is getting reorganized because I had to move it three times in the last few years, but I would be very distressed if I was called selfish because I wasn't willing to share my stash with others. I am mostly a dreamer right now, but I have plans for so much of my stash that I wouldn't want to donate mine to charity just because right now I am not using most of it.
(I have given away a bunch of the fabric that was given to me, but only when I believe that it will be used in a project and not just re-stashed into another person's "someday" collection.)
