I have a stash and proud of it. I love to be able to, at whatever hour I can, go in there and pull fabric out and make something. My DH is the one who, when I showed him something I just made, asked about the fabric, I said that I had it in my stash, his reply was, "then it was free."
So, with my stash, I can make enough free projects to last a lifetime.
But, I still need more fabric. You never know when you are shopping and think you purchased the perfect fabric for something and low and behold when you get it home, you think, I really don't care for that, you go to the stash and find the just right fabric. Love it!
