My view is from the other side of the sales counter. My stash was taking over all my storage spots, so I put an ad on Craig's list to sell. Yes, I pulled some favorites from my stash before the showings. The first buyer bought over 100 yards and, after she left, I felt like I had just sold my grandchildren. Again, I went through that stash and relocated some more fabric, and then a few hours later I relocated more. Aefter a couple more buyers, I was digging out more and felt like a crazed squirrel, I decided "enough already, I am not ready to sell". I pulled the ad.
Now to put my stash back in some sort of order and leave it behind, when I go to the big quilting bee in the sky. Of course I continue to wonder if I have that red and purple print or did I sell it.
