We kind of thought that. Hard to buy insurance when times are tough.

Well, I had resolved to use up some of my stash in '10, but then I heard Wally World in W'chester was selling out of their fabric, and I could not resist the urge. So,...while I was there, I got two more empty tubs. And 2 pkg. of York Peppermint patties. Guess I'm set for a while.

I'll trade you the Peppermint patties for some scraps :) :)

I've only been back to quilting for about 2 years. I started collecting fabric here and there and didn't think I had any solids. Well, they must have something going, as when I sorted all my fabric, I had 2 (old deep freezer basket) full of solids. I have gone to using up my stash, even it doesn't EXACTLY match. I'll never get sewn up all I have now. It is 60 miles to a decent fabric store. I'm 68 years old and do not like to drive that far by myself anymore. Silvia

Yeap. My question as well. :thumbup: If you figure it out let us know. I don't think they have AA for us quilters.


Do we really want...or need...an AA for us quilters :lol: ?

Well, this one really reminded me why it's best not to read with a mouthful of coffee!
Truth be told, those large tubs do help hold the floor down under normal conditions...and in major windstorms the added weight may keep the house on its foundation! ROFLMBO

Ditto! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have already admitted I have an addiction. It is a real hungry sort so I have to feed it often. As far as doing something about it, I do. I sew every day and shop as often as possible.

I confess to having lots in my stash, about 10 tubs worth plus a dresser, and still I buy both online and in shops. It's an obsession/addiction but I don't care. It's mine and I enjoy it. When I sorted my stash, I found so much I had forgotten I had even some "ugly" fabric that I's purchased twice plus some beautiful fabric that i ahd 3 different sixes of cuts in - my DD shook her head over the 3 different pieces of it. I even found stash fabric in my Xstitch stuff and in my pj drawer. Life goes on and so does fabric acquisition. :)

That sound like a good trade. Can't seem to sew without those pep patties. Oh well, one addiction deserves another.
