Since I started quilting again after being out of it for many years (about 20 I think). I have started my stash again. I can't go by any store that has it. I watch Joannes like a hawk. There is a small place in town and I hit it once a week incase of a markdown. Am collecting patterns online like crazy. I did keep all my old books but gave away my old stash. One of these days I will set it up orderly. Right now...it's still buy time!
