Petpainter, I'm in the same boat you are in (almost). I am 100% disabled now for several health issues. When I was working, I too bought fabrics for my stash. Now that I am receiving SSI disability, which it pays my bills but not to much left over, I can go through my stash to make my quilts and wall hangings. I see so many others that I would like to have but just can't afford to buy more.
