I don't have a lot of stash right now due to space, but what I have is in a box under my recliner. It's actually holding the recliner up because it broke just before the transmission in our car needed to be replaced. It's in a box so is quite safe. If I need some from that box, I take some from a bag elsewhere to keep the height right. LOL!! I am a fabriholic too & right now...I'm very thankful for it!

I really do not know how one could be classified as having an addiction. Lots of people have hobbies, IF that hobbie gets in the way of family it cease to be a hobbie any more but an addiction? I actually am asking more than knowing. ?) Happy quilting. HUGS all

I guess the meaning can be whatever you want it to be. lol. I have a huge envelope of scraps for you and I will send when I am done with my latest quilt. ~Erika.

And it's still cheaper than therapy

Sounds exactly like me. I have had all these too familiar feelings. Don't worry, it's normal to us quilters!!

I love your picture of New Mexico one of our favorite travel places and now that I don't travel pictures are my source of inspiration that and the fabric stash that keeps growing. We used to laugh and say we would have to live to be 105 to use it up but we have bought some since than

Oh Happy Day! Being a scatter-brain, after having bought some more fabric I just had to have, so pretty, the pieces keep piling up in boxes and closets. I have very little storage space so most of my stash is "in hiding". Now for the Happy part: Every now and then I get these weird Cleaning Up Fits ( as my friend calls them) and then it feels like Christmas: Forgot I had this piece, I love it, I must start making s-g to reward myself, a new bag perhaps. Well, actually I do remember when I stop to think but at times I just love these little surprises. I try to attach a picture of my newest one, I thought I had half a metr of the Echino fabric but I had a full meter.

I think most quilters are fabricholics.....it gets in our blood and becomes an addiction. We just have to admit we do have that problem and that is the first step......
