I LOVE the term "Sable!" That describes my Stash. I'm at hoarder level. I do it with precuts on clearance. I buy nothing larger than fat quarters. I've given plenty away, and haven't put a dent in it. The Webster word-of-the-day yesterday was "armamentarium." That is the aggregate body of equipment, methods, techniques and materials needed to complete a project or undertaking. Our stash is a valuable part of our armamentarium!

I never buy less than three yards of fabric unless i am buying precuts. I have a large amount and need to do something with some of it as at my age I will never use it all. But I love it all.

Luvs to quilt I have two unique patterns for small wall quilts from Boline's that I bought at the Lancaster Show. I love them! Wish Boline's was near me! As for the stash DH installed a closet organizer in my sewing room a few years ago according to specifications I came up with. It really helps to be able to see everything. I have mostly half and 1 yard cuts-never fails though
if I use the fabric for a purse of something I don't have enough for long pieces. 😏 |
My SABLE is because of those darn sales & coupons from Joann’s! Also Tuesday Morning, MSQC daily deals (like the one today) and the fact that there are at least 3 LQS within 20 minutes from me. Or it’s just plain & simply that when shopping at said stores fabric just accidentally falls into my cart and begs me to take it home!!

Face it - we love fabric, either buying it or browsing through it. We could be doing worse things.

Collecting fabric & making something with it are two entirely separate hobbies. : )
