I love fabrics. Heard cottons were going up. Wonder why, since they are milled in Asia are they not. Robber barons!!!

I am not a stash-a-holic; I'm a 'Collector Extrordinaire'!
(that's is my spelling, I don't care what Webster says!) lol Patty

Very good sentiment. Also try Fabric.com - they are having a sale right now. Brand name fabric at $3.95 a yard. Big selection too.

EVERYTHING keeps going up except my pay check!
Thank goodness for thrift stores and yard sales, as long as they don't get the idea to raise their prices.

As much stash as I have-I still manage to buy a few hundred dollars worth every month of fabric! Trying to make sure that I have enough stash for my lifetime and my two daughter's lifetimes....and maybe any future grandkid quilter's lifetimes!!!

Glad I have lots of stash.

Absolutely, positively LOVE my stash. My husband will know what to do if something should happen to me so he's not to bad about my growing "art" resources. My quilt buddies all their instructions too.

If I had a few hundred dollars to spend on fabric every month, I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven!
Lucky you! :lol:

Saying goodbye to fabrics means it is okay to let go of things we love, that others may benefit faster than if I hold on tight.

I have made Quilts of Valor for about 3 years now. No one has ever donated fabric to me, but the caring of that group is wonderful. I was able to present two of my quilts personally and am now working on one for a young man coming home from his second tour in Iraq and on his way to Afghanistan after Christmas. This is a work I will never abandon.
