I also love my stash. But my stepdaughter and husband have decided to come for Thanksgiving. She said she can't wait to get into my stash for fabric to make handbags. We don't do a big feed for thanksgiving. It's just my husband and I and we are both in our upper 70's.My husband told them to come on down. Now I have to protect my stash as well cook dinner. Like most quilters, my stash was bought for certain projects. We don't have much company, so I'm already getting stressed out.
