i did some stocking up over the 30 years before retiring. did not realize that was what i was doing, it just happened. have been retired 4 years now and my stock has grown geometrically. ha ha! just spent many hours sorting my stash and have been crazy with convincing myself that enough is enough. going to, well, trying to, stop buying.
come to the realization that "stash happens" whether we want it or not. so, just relax and enjoy the ride. try to get some actual work done between the fabric gathering.
as one of my quilting group ladies says, "i have enough fabric that i will have to live to be 200 years old before i run out."
