How do you call your stash?
 
Just wondering.

Does anyone calls her/his stash any other way than stash?

I call it "my seed box"

JenniePenny 07-02-2015 10:09 AM

It's simply my fabric, or my stash.

Latrinka 07-02-2015 10:33 AM

Just my stash, but right now I'm calling the top shelf(mostly scraps) my mess because I've been digging in it and it's a big mess! Holding up production too, need to get over there and straighten it up, then maybe I'd be more inclined to either finish a UFO or start yet another project!

ManiacQuilter2 07-02-2015 11:01 AM

No, I never have named anything to do with my quilting.

I call mine "The Hoard"

Stitchnripper 07-02-2015 11:45 AM

I have a tiny little amount of fabric, by choice, and call it "fabric"

Lori S 07-02-2015 12:05 PM

Sometimes I call certain portions "the Museum" but the rest is mostly called "Chaos".

Mariposa 07-02-2015 12:24 PM

My fabrics, or my stash. On occasion, some fabrics are called "time to go"-as into a project, or elsewhere~;)

My stash closet mostly to my hubby. Although it is scattered into the spare room on the bed these days. After the charity sewing is finished, I will clean it all back up and put it away into a tub. You see there are things I keep separate that are donations of started items and fabric for the diabetes auctions. I have to spread them out on the bed and prioritize them to stay focused.

...the pantry.

francie yuhas 07-02-2015 04:34 PM

I keep mine downstairs in my old canning cupboards..the kids and DG kids call it " the store".

My precious............lol for anyone who is familiar with Lord of the Rings! My husband gets a kick out of it.

My Investment! Fabric has gone way up in cost than when I bought what is in my stash.

quilttiger 07-03-2015 02:39 AM

Investments....I am now cashing them in before buying new fabrics:)

Reba'squilts 07-03-2015 04:49 AM

I am sorta with Latrinka....I call a lot of mine a mess right now! Speaking of calling things other names, my about to be 4 GD calls my sewing machine the kilting thing!

jdiane318 07-03-2015 05:09 AM

My Gold mine.

Debbie C 07-03-2015 05:11 AM

My treasure trove...if anyone dares go near, they'd better be careful! Lol

I say, "Here, stashy stashy.... here stash!"

(Sorry... couldn't resist!)

Pam S 07-03-2015 05:48 AM

LOL. When I saw the title I thought it was a typo and you were asking "how do you CULL your stash?" I've really been trying to do that lately but I just can't seem to part with any of it. How does everybody else cull their stash when it starts to take over your sewing room?

Bubbie 07-03-2015 06:20 AM

My savings account. Because it's like having money in the bank.

I had to smile when I saw your analogy - what with all the jelly rolls and turnovers and layer cakes and jolly bars... honey buns and whatever else Moda is trying to sell us through our stomachs, it's a natural :thumbup:

wildyard 07-03-2015 08:47 AM

For me, it's my treasure hoard!

Twisted Quilter 07-03-2015 08:55 AM

When I'm in a good mood I call my stash, "my babies". Not so good mood, "pile of crap"!

tessagin 07-03-2015 08:59 AM

Same here along with stash.

"Stash" is the only word I have ever used.

reneaunoel 07-04-2015 05:24 AM

I've named all my cars I've owned, but never thought of naming the fabric collection. I'd have to have two categories: Modern and Historical. Modern I've purchased and the Historical is material collected and passed down from my Mother, Grandmother and a few precious pieces from my Great Grandmother! Same with the sewing patterns!

Iraxy 07-04-2015 08:38 AM

How do I call my stash? Hey stash, hey stash, hey little stash. Just could not pass up this opportunity. Stash, I call it my stash. My kids call my quilting stuff my "crack." They say I am as addicted as any crack head and even refer to my magazines as "Mom's crack." Those silly kids!

This sounds awesome. I'd LOVE to see your 'historical' stuff....

reneaunoel 07-04-2015 10:07 AM

best part of having the historical fabric, my Great-grandmother was 59 when I was born, so she was very into the modern fabrics (of the time). I have at least 2 or 3 yards that are really slinky, knits that are blinding brights. (late 50's, early 60's) No good for quilting, but very fun to threaten my very conservative daughter with! I also have a 3 or 4 yard cut of bright blue cotton with flocked daisy's on it. I remember having dresses out of similar fabrics, so the granddaughter may yet get a top. It's been protected from moisture and bugs, so it will be fun to work on a small piece of it. Then I save the rest for HER grandchildren! Hmmm, maybe a 3rd category, "Pass it ON"!

HouseDragon 07-04-2015 03:23 PM

My stash.

My DD calls it Hoarding ....... she also keeps telling me I should do only one project at a time ..... she's going to have fits this summer when we visit and I start going to every Row By Row Experience shop in New Jersey the first two weeks we are there, before spending the next two weeks on a road trip throughout Upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. :D
