I get it, I finally get it. I now understand why everyone has a STASH!!
 

I just started quilting about 3 months ago. I have made it a point up until recently to not have a stash. I started buying fabric during sales and now have a super small stash. I was working on a baby quilt trying to finish it up and realized I did not have the fabric I needed. But wait for it...I DID, I went through my draws and found the perfect fabrics to finish the quilt.

I get it I really do, now I want to go shopping and buy more fabric.:thumbup:

You got the addiction bug!

And we add another member to our group. Welcome and happy collecting.

Oh my this is the way it starts.

Yep, it finially bit her. Consider your stash a going green experience. You don't jump into your vehicle and run all over town now searching for that material.

I wanna go - shopping.

We all knew you would get the bug sooner or later. We all started out with just fabrics for a quilt project then when you least expect it, it bites you and your hooked, LOL

I don't think I would sew/quilt nearly as much if I did not have a stash. I think you are finding a reason to have a stash... you can just keep going on a project without breaking the mood by havingto stop and get the items for a project.

For sure, you are a true quilter. Welcome to our world!

Another one bites the dust!!! Welcome to the club. There is always room for another member of the stash club.

It seems like I can't go into a fabric store without leaving with some fabric!

LOL!

Pinkberry: welcome to the dark side!

I work in a hospital and see potential fabric squares in everybodys' uniform tops.
Fabric is addicting and won't make you fat!

my stash is very often what gives me the inspiration for a new project .. i see something i just have to use

Isn't it a wonderful feeling to find just the fabric that you need right at home in your own sewing room?

:) Welcome to the sisterhood.

Welcoe to the quilt board! You have now been FOR SURE been nipped by the stash bug!LOL!

I'm always buying fabrics on sale. It's just unreal how many times they are just the thing that one needs.

Gotcha!! :)

Uh oh! No going back now.
Annie

And you will find that it's a life-long addiction:thumbup:

Ditto! I now have 8 treadles! I love having a stash. It is a large collection of fabrics that I love and so I am always happy to use them. (Unlike a store where I will pass over many bolts because they are just not my cup of tea.)

Oh I think I feel a road trip coming on!!

Oh, a budding baby! Yes, yes, yes!!! We're always glad when someone else becomes one of our stash addiction group.

There's no other feeling like it! Happy Stash Enhancing Xcursions!

I never met a fabric I didn't like!

She has been bitten! Now you know what it is to be a true quilter...I only know one long time quilter that doesn't have a stash and I truly believe she is NUTS!

Thats already started, I have been searching ebay and other online sources. I am going to check out my local Janome dealer b/c I think I saw a Singer 301 sitting in the window calling my name.:D

OOOOHH Next you will be hiding 'It' in the trunk and sneak'in in the dark!LOL

ROFLOL THAT IS TOO FUNNY!!!!!!! Almost fell out of my car seat.

See, all this time she thought we were all crazy.:D:D:D So now she is with "us".:thumbup:

Welcome fellow stasher! The addiction has begun and now you join the rest of the fabriholics of the world.

:D:D:thumbup:

Nope that won't happen, I proudly display my purchases for DH to see and proudly BRAG about how much money i SAVED HIM!!!!:D

love having the stash...that super small stash will slowly grow...lol

Yes that is the way it starts for sure! I've only been quilting over 2 yrs and now have two big storage bins full and one other drawer in another room. It's funny when DH goes shopping with me and I have fabric in my hand and he says do you really need more fabric and every women in the place answers yes! He doesn't ask anymore lol you will have a huge stash before too long.

You're hooked, but it's okay. We all are.

Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow!!
