I just gotta say that I love, love, love looking at the photos of your stashes!!
I have been unemployed for over 6 months and able to spend time in my sewing room working on projects I had set aside for years. My stash has been used. I have made bags and baby quilts and wedding quilts, et al. I ran out of my favorite white on white (boohooo) just today!
I am this close to going back to work ... yippeee! In about three months I will have had time to bang down my bills, and the flood gates will open and I will have money to go shopping.
Thanks for sharing your stories ...
