Marcia, ROFL over "will work for fabric!" I worked at a Hancock for less than a year, and wrote checks every payday! I also bought two sewing machines while I was there and have every color thread there is I bet. Then Hancock and Joann went out of business in my town. My goodness did I load up.
I have been sewing since I was a little girl, apparel and dolls mostly, and caught the quilting bug a few years ago.
My stash is primarily in huge rubbermaid bins on long shelves in my laundry room, with a few in the closet under the stairs and then in a large armoire and bookcase in my sewing room. I dream of the day when it will all fit in one room, but that will mean a double size room, because even if I sewed up all the fab fabric I have right now, I will be buying fabric. I love fabric. Can't help myself.
I usually buy in 5-7 yard cuts now, but have been known to buy bolts....
I am brnd new to this board, and will take some pics this weekend of a few things I have.
