I have a older friend who wanted me to quilt three quilts for her, paying me in fabrics from her stash. As I have known this woman for fifty plus years, babysat for the oldest of her eleven children and have finished numerous quilts for her - how was I going to say no? So now I have a large quanity of old fashioned fabric that will be used for scrap quilts for a long time in the future. Welcome to my stash!!
