I hide mine in the garage and then sneak them in when it is dark and he has gone to bed. I put them in the closet downstairs under folded quilts. I don't think he notices the black ones because to him they all look alike. Hah, if he only knew. Once in a while I will bring out one of the two tone 50's japanese clones and he will ask me when did you get that one. Answer, Oh quite awhile ago, just got her out to oil. He shrugs his shoulders and walks on. Of course, he has not gone out to my side of the garage where the cabinet machines are. They are sort of hard to hide. Guess I will have to have a moving furniture day, that really confuses him. He will not notice another cabinet, trust me on that.

A stach is not a "nice to have" or "need to have", but a total "I would die if I did not have...." You clearly understand the importance of a stash - for every inch you use, you need to buy at least (the very least) a fat quarter replacement. While you are at it, you might as well get something in blue, or yellow, or red, or just because it is very pretty. Welcome to the sea of stash - go with the flow.

I have a stash and also caught the 'vintage sewing machine bug' a couple of years ago.

Last summer my sisters and I went to a garage sale, the lady said she was cleaning out her mother's sewing room and would have some fabric but didn't have it together yet, she would call us when she did. She called and said we could come to look at the fabric. There was fabric everywhere, partial projects, a mix of everything. My sisters and I by the end of the summer had bought 800 yards or more of fabric plus books, patterns and trim from her. She was selling it for $3.00 a box, copy paper size. We love our fabric stash.
