Hi Jackie... Me and DH are retired on a fixed income. I can't work as I am a caregiver for my 84 yr. old Mom. I have a stash built from..Yardsales,DD's buying fabric,Getting HobbyLobby gift cards,ETC. My 2 DD's go to yardsales and when they see fabric they get it for me. My stash is not corrdinated by buying that special brand so you can go from dark to light. Most of the time I use what I have on hand and add to what I have if I need a certain color. Just takes time.
Sometimes it is hard,especially when something unexpected comes up that requires Money. just keep on quilting you will find a way to get your fabric. BillsBonBon
