I have a stash that was mostly created when I 1st got into quilting & was still working. I went to all the quilt shop sales. With the cotton prices what they are now, I either shop in my own closet or buy only what the pattern calls for. I've even been trying to find new homes for some of my stash as I don't want everything to be trashed when I die. I don't have any relatives interested in quilting.
