my dh is good about it but when he found out i had got $1500 in fabric since july he said i had better only buy for a project i need it for and not for stash any more unless i get it out off clearance. i work at a lqs so the money just came out off working so i dident actualy spend it. i was a bit shoked when i realised i had got so much but i still need solids tots and reds but im going to wait for a bit till i get more.

DH came into my sewing room, cave, sanctuary the other day and looked around and asked...How many quilts can you make before you would run out fabric??? He thought it was an innocent question so he could be a smartass the next time I "needed" fabric lol The joke was on him because then I had to explain what I was lacking... so out of all your stash what are you lacking????
I'm lacking....cream and white fabrics
yardage for backings

My husband said when I pass away he was going to get a dumpster and empty my sewing room. I told him I wouldn't do that. I figured out I have thousands of dollars in fabrics/machines. If I had a good stash of whites/creams and blacks, I could get away without buying fabric for quite awhile. But then again, I may need a fat quarter, just in case....

Pat helps me pick out my colors (he has a really good eye and a non-traditional approach) so it is not unusual for him to declare that I obviously have NOTHING that goes with the current project and that we really need to go to the LQS. Yes, my man is not a stranger to the fabric stores.

great answer. I am so glad that I have every bit of fabric I have. The prices have gone up and I have some of the most
beautiful fabric that I can sew with for years. I used my 60% off coupon to buy 20 yards of "Warm and Natural" batting on
sale at JoAnn's. It is regularly $13.99 a yard. We have to be frugal....

This is hillarious. A friend had water problem from heavy rain, and her basement was getting water, they were moving fabric to "higher ground". Her husband remarked, "gosh you must have $100 worth of fabric here." We all know that amount can come in a small bag. She about fainted and just agreed, that yes, he was probably right. grin
