I have a very large stash but I am retired now and not able to buy much, so I'm very happy to have it. It is my fabric IRA. I make 30 to 60 quilts per year. Many of these are given to homeless families. My girlfriend and I found a focus fabric we both loved and we are each making quilts. We are in the early stages of design. Neither of us have a big budget for fabric, so we went and raided my stash and in a few minutes, found 10 fabrics for these quilts. So even though I am sometimes overwhelmed by it, I say, thank God for my stash!
