Hey, PittsburgPam - I love your avatar. Do you have a pattern for it? It is so unusual and so pretty!

I am so glad to see that I am not alone. When we moved 2 years ago, within a couple of months, I ended up donating to various organizations 9 vans, full of every kind of fabric except my cottons. I still need to get rid of more and have been making quilts like crazy and giving them away. Just not making them fast enough.

The basement is mine and I have floor to ceiling shelving 30 foot long plus a wall that is 14 foot long. Then there is an L shaped room that is full of boxes on 3 sides, that I haven't touched for 2 years. I figured if I havn't touched it, don't remember what is in it, it is time to give away.

That is a beautiful stash, QBeth!!

I used to buy for my project only. But since I have started back quilting, I have built up a sizeable stash. I gave five boxes of fabric away to be able to have room for what I had. I love fabric and when I see something I love, I buy it. And I love batiks! I keep trying to go on the wagon and not buy more fabric, but then I see a beautiful fabric and I relapse. I have also decided if my husband goes before me, I will be able to live off my fabric. If I go first it goes to my DGD.

Count me in! And I love the cartoon. Even tho I recently sold off a lot of my fabric at a garage sale, I then proceded to buy more on a trip to Sisters, Oregon! And a lqs here is closing out her fabrics so of course had to lend my support to the cause!

Thanks. Now that I can really see it, I like it even more!

Love the cartoon!!

As for being a fabricholic, whatever do you mean??

Cute cartoon!!LOL and the fabricholic "Wow" If I had that much I would never leave my "dungeon" (basement). This is a cute thread!

QBeth....i love your stash! But at least your are in color order, etc that you need for different projects!

Yup, that's the beauty of putting (almost) everyting in this cabinet, which I bought only a couple of weeks ago. Several of the bins are ear marked for specific projects such as a blue & yellow watercolor quilt and, a kitty cat fabric quilt. I may have gone overboard, stocking colors, but at least I'll have what I need (I hope!). :-)

Ditto. I just love looking at it and unfolding and refolding it.
