In preparation for retirement I knew I would need something to keep me busy. It is common advice that your income will drop when you retire. So I decided to lay in a supply (stash) of fabric while I could still afford to buy it! Here I am retired for 7 1/2 years now and cannot reduce my stash. I set out on a quest and made over 40 charity blankets and numerous small projects. It didn't make a dent. Because I throw in the occasional fabric sale and projects for which 'I don't have what I need so I buy more', my stash continues to grow. I sought help from my peeps only to find out they had the same problem! There is no help for this kind of addiction!
