I am climbing on my soapbox... My hubby complains about my fabric stash, but I am so glad I have one. I am now retired. When I was working I bought a lot of patterns, fabric & books. Now I have this supply to work from. With everything going up, up, up in cost, I don't have to buy. It's great to have all the free patterns online now. I do every once in a while have to get my fix and buy some fabric, but usually just to complete a project. I can't afford the price of fabric now. Ok, I'm climbing down now.....
