I agree we all need some kind of stash. I am a pretty new quilter and only due to being disabled now. I was a garment sewer but always said I would quilt when I retired. Of course I am totally addicted, but have limited resources. My little sewing group had a class for a leaf bowl yesterday- just bring a few 6" squares of green batiks. Well, what should have been a cheap class turned expensive since I didn't have any batik scraps at all. My advice...keep enough stash in case your life changes dramatically and you can "live" on what you already have. Everyone keeps saying, just pull from your stash, you don't have to buy anything! We aren't all there yet lol!!!
Oh, and yes, selling your overages on the site here would be fab!
