I amassed a huge stash while I was working. I always thought I would have time to sew, and there was always some emergency at work that did not permit it. Then I'd get inspired by new fabric and, again, I wouldn't have time to sew. Going to quilt shows only served to increase the stash most years.
Since then, I got forced into an early retirement by the economy, now have a lot of time to sew, do sew a lot, and am so happy for my stash! Now I have limited income and can't go buy fabric, but do have great fabric to use in my stash. My husband can't complain because I'm not spending money, except on thread. I consider my stash to be my Fabric IRA.
