I have to say that I admire anyone that doesn't have a stash. My reasoning? I have quite a large stash, and yet any time that I get ready to start a new project, I have to go buy more fabric, because there isn't anything "just right" in my stash. Then, when I get to the store to buy what I need for a specific project, I always find something I just have to have, but it goes into my stash because I don't have a project in mind for it. A vicious cycle. I have a couple of friends that shop from my stash and I'm always happy for them to take stuff.
