What a great thread this has been....Corky, well done and your pics are inspirational and it's been really interesting hearing all your "stash stories".
I guess the most interesting point is that hoarders are just collectors (with a recognised illness), whereas quilters, crafters and recyclers are actually "transformers", we use our stashes to create practical and beautiful products which are nothing like what we started out with. So, if you don't use it or create with it, you pass it on to someone who will. Now off my soapbox and on with the business of "transforming"!
