I do shop from my stash when starting a new project and can usually come up with most of what I need for it but always seem to lack at least one fabric. So off to the LQS or online to search and always end up buying the one fabric I need to complete that project plus anything else that screams my name. I also can't seem to pass up a sale. There is always at least one fabric on clearance that I just have to have. So my stash never seems to go down but instead seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. LOL It is futile to fight this addiction. I figure as long as i can afford it I will buy it. Soon we will be retired and won't have as much money but I will still have a great stash to quilt from.
