It must be heart wrenching to lose your stash and so much stash. That is a lot of fabric!
Oh dear, I think you are in for a big surprise when you visit a quilt store. Prices have jumped! You will be lucky to find fabric at $10, let alone $8. OTOH, if it really is $8 where you live, let us know so we can come visit!
