Even worse, buying pretty fabric, and finding you don't have enough AFTER you've cut it. And not be able to find it again!

Now see, that's where I don't get so worried. If I run out of that favorite fabric, I just go and find something else and add that to the quilt!

Stashers, Hahaha!!! That would be just as interesting as Hoarders for sure, and not nearly as depressing.

Beautiful fabric requires fondling and deep breathing. Ahhh!

I had two particular fabrics in my stash that I really loved. I used the first one in a quilt and was very pleased with it. However, panic immediately set in because I was almost out of that beautiful fabric, so I made a mad dash to buy more and ended up with more than I had to begin with.

And if you are wondering about the second fabric...just read the paragraph above...same song, second verse! LOL

Yes, and that's the same reason why I only put dirt and plants in planters that are ever so slightly cracked or chipped. :thumbup:

I agree.

It talked to me to get it and darned if it shut up after I got it home. The fabric must be mad at me and I refuse to use it until after it is finished with its temper tantrum and tells me what I can use it for.
