This week we had a speaker at our guild, Beth Ferrier. She says she has no stash! Since she designs patterns, she has to use the newest available fabric. Said if she didn't do that, all us quilters would not appreciate it! LOL
My stash is only 6 years old....that's when I started quilting! I did no sewing before that. Now, if you're talking cross stitch or embroidery, that's a different story.
