About 10 years ago a local Joann's closed and all fabric was 50-75% off. I had just rec'd my Christmas bonus and spent it all on fabric there. I filled 4 shopping carts!! You know, I still have some of that fabric in my stash. MY tastes and style of quilting have changed so much over the years. I advise new quilters to buy basics: blenders, white on white, beige on beige, and not so much of "today's" colors. I don't have a large stash. I've given away a lot but I'll never buy in such a large quantity again. (OH CRAP!! Who am I kidding??? If I saw a huge sale like that I'd prob do it all again and in 10 years have the same regrets LOL!!!)
