I started my stash when I opened a quilt shop. LOL However I am now retired and still continue to add to my stash. DH had a carpenter come in and put cupboards in the laundry room for my stash. He got tired of seeing boxes all over the house filled with fabric. Well, I have out grown my laundry room and once again have plastic containers here and ther around the house. Like the others have said, I buy more than I need for a project, and also buy because I like it. There is no cure for this. Marge
