I agree with Terri D. and ghostrider. I think if your stash was what you picked out and bought it would be different for you. Also I too live out in the woods and every store is far away so is necessary for me to have a stash so I don't burn 4.00 a gallon running to a far away store, I also buy on the net. I have tons of fabrics in my stash that I just love because when I bought it I loved it and I get excited being able to use it, saves time and money for me.
