This made me think, too.
I just gave a quick count of my fat quarters 37 stacks at an average of 20 FQ's per stack at just $1 per FQ is $740. That is only 1 1/2 shelves of fabric. I have 10 more shelves of fabric from 1/2 yard to several yards each and WIP's. 3 sewing machines etc.
I have a friend who said I am a baby beginner. I helped her move. I AM a baby beginner.
Oh, I forgot what is stored elsewhere.
