The way fabric prices keep jumping, a huge stash may be a gold mine soon. I'm middle aged with a stash that takes up most of a bedroom in my house (the machines fill a 2nd room). As I walk through even Hobby Lobby and Hancock in sticker shock at $10+/yd fabric, I rejoice that I have years of creativity stocked up. I fear for the future of our quilt shops - we just can't continue to stash build at their prices.
