When Ben Franklin's fabric stores went out of business, there were two of them in my local. I bought all I could afford. It was the better end fabrics, and I knew I would use them someday in projects. I can't resist 50, 60 and 70 percent off great fabric. Could you? I bought as many blenders and neutrals as I could. The problem is that I had no shelf space and had to store them in bins. It hasn't helped me because." Out of sight, out of mind." But, I do have one planned for this year. A black, white and mixed colors one.
I truly love my older fabrics, even the scraps. I applique blocks sometimes with those smaller pieces. Getting rid of them is impossible for me.
To make matters worse, I also sew garments. So, I have those types of fabrics around in bins. Hubby thinks I am a hoarder. But, I don't think seven or eight large bins are hoarding. Do you? With the price of fabric almost quad-tripling since I started quilting, I am too frugal for that.
