My DH has to fix my recliner today. It's broken & has been held up by boxes of my stash & I had bags under there too, to keep my bird from nesting under there & attacking my feet. This morning I had to empty the area to give him room to work. I kept pulling bag after bag out & filled a 30 gallon trash bag with the various bags. He asked me what was in all those bags...oops!! I guess I'd been keeping most of it under wraps all this time as I use it. :-)

Cute story! Maybe he will built you a cabinet so you don't store it under the chair?

That was a good hiding place. Til now. That is a funny story.

:lol: :lol: :lol: LOL!! So very. very BUSTED!!!

We live in a motorhome FT, so no chance of that. We really don't have much room. It's like living in a hallway. Ours is an older model and no pull outs. Maybe someday though! :-)

Uh oh have to find a new stash hideaway!!

I've been busted also. Decided everything was coming out of bins and into a closet so that I could see everything at once.

Didn't realize at the time that dh could see the same thing! :shock: Oh well, damage is done, but it looks great and now the question I keep getting is don't you have enough fabric!

Oh please, never enough! Where are my coupons? :wink:

lol better hide it some where else.love your bird

Hahahahaha. You guys are too funny

Wonder if THAT could Pocibley be Why it Broke You ? think :lol:

Busted! :lol: :lol:

Hehe if you "get more stash", fold it up and "stash it in your dresser drawer, and just hang up all of your clothes. For your undies and bras, just stuff them all into a pillow case and use it as a pillow. Then you have lots of room for your stash. LOL

Too funny Becky! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yikes - I'm having a horrible vision of this bag accidentally being tossed. Please make sure it's well marked. ;-)

My sister's motor home had a bed that pulled up from the bottom to store whatever under it. More on the line of an old fashioned Murphy bed, except hers stayed down almost all the time.

Hope you can make use of those hidden treasures and enjoy them soon!

That is how our motorhome is. We don't live in it full time, but my hubby would like to be able to someday. I just don't know how I would put quilt frames in there. My quilt frames are the grace EZ so they do fold up easily. Guess if we do it, I will quilt outside. LOL

No. It broke & kept trying to throw me out, so in desperation I used the box and bags to keep it stable until DH could fix it. He did an awesome job on it today! :-)

I just took them all back out of the garbage bag again & redistributed them. :-)

I love it. last year a flood forced me to wash and dry and store my stash in plain sight. My husband said when did you buy all of this? A little here and there. Dry sewing room now, working on new hidining places

You girls are too funny! I thank God every day that my DH never says no to more fabric coming into the house(by mail,UPS,me, etc) He says every day is like Christmas here(for me)

Well that was a unique hiding spot for a while, lol!

That would work if the bras didn't have wires! Ouch if they did!

How about layering your bigger pieces of fabric on top of the mattress under the sheets? This would make the bed commfy and allow for more space for the smaller pieces.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention!

You told him that you'd had those for years, right? LOL

I sometimes have to put extra fabric in pillowcases and use them as extra pillows,on my bed, for show, but never ever use them as pillows.Not hiding fabric but just need a place to store untill I get around to using it

I think you should have said bird nest supplies. Tell him you let the bird pick out his own nesting material whenever he wants to redecorate his nest !!

These comments are so funny. Thanks for the 'stash' confession, even though it was an unwilling one. Now, on to the guest room closet where the fabric is hanging over hangers with extra winter coats hung on top. Camoflauge! Heeheee, keep them guessing!

I had a good reminiscent laugh. My best friend's daughter always called her first MH her "elegant hallway".

oops! I have some fabric in my car that I bring in slowly. :)

2 funny

My husband found my "stash" when we moved from Seattle, WA to Twin Falls, ID. He said I had more boxes of fabric than we had of anything else. Then he said "Wow! You must have $300 or $400 dollars of fabric". I never told him differently.

Could you PM me or (post here) if more people want to know, How you make quilts in a motor home? we are moving this summer and to save money it looks like we will be moving into our brand new 5th wheel for close to 3 months. Less cleaning I will have more time to sew. Looks like a wonderful opportunity if I can just figure out how to cart all my stuff and find room to sew. Any helpful suggestions, hints, tips and tricks. Thank you so much. By the way I hope you find another place for your stash, I would not have thought of under a recliner, not that we will have one n our trailer.

Yeah wooops. I usually do that kind of stuff when my husband isn't looking. :thumbup:

We spend most of the summer in our 24' 5th wheel. It is not large, but it surprises me (and my husband!) how much stuff I can get in it. My husband usually fishes and I quilt, quilt, quilt. I always take both my sewing machine and my serger, cause I love to make baby clothes, too. Then I have my cutting mat and my iron and my small ironing board, my GO cutter + dies, fabrics, batting, notions, etc.
I have found that there is really a lot of storage in these things. I don't leave everything out when I am not sewing cause there are plenty of places to put everything.
My husband always says he wonders if there is going to be enough room left for all the things we need, like food, clothes, towels, etc. He hasn't been disappointed yet, though.
I love sewing in our little 5th wheel!

Oh no! I was wondering the same thing LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

You ladies are funny! I need a good laugh today.

My hubby says - NO MORE TOTES TO PUT FABRIC IN!!!

I lived in a mobile home for 18 mos. whenwe were first married, never again!!! There is no place to hide or store anything!! Feel sorry for you!!!!!

Lol....how funny! And would be just my luck.

I like the idea of stashing under the sheets on the bed! Can store a lot of materials there!
