All these comments about people's "stashes" reminded me of a little quotation I have framed in my sewing room. I don't know who wrote it, but they understand, and all of us understand!
"No one expects the stamp colector to actually mail letters with his stamps.
No one expects the coin collector to use his coins in a vending machine for soda. So why does everyone expect me to use my fabric collection to actually sew anything?" I'm not a fabriholic; I'm a fabric Collector!
