Your fabric stash sounds like my yarn stash. As soon as the roads clear up after tomorrow's snow fall, I'm giving some of my cheaper yarn to the Fabric Recycle store. My yarn was stacked in boxes, which I hated, I got it down to one box. My embroidery floss are together in numbered order except that that I'm using. I have tons of aida cloth. Mine isn't basic aida, it's from Picture This Plus and Silkweaver. My thread is all DMC and Weeks with Thread Gatherer silk. The quilt fabric I buy comes from quilt shops. The quilt fabric I have from Joanns feels like paper to me. I will use the scraps I have, but I don't care for it. I always bought my fabric at quilt shops. But occasionally I bought fat quarters from Joanns. It has to be washed in fabric softener. I am so ocd about my fabric it has to have a designer name on the selvage label....and my yarn isn't cheap either. Not any more.
