I might have had huge sticker shock at those prices. Regardless of how my DH and DS felt when we downsized, I drew the line when I had purged nearly 50% of my fabrics, as they wanted me to get rid of nearly all of it. Not happening, especially since we were moving to a 2-bedroom apt. and my sewing "room" was a corner of my bedroom. My DH did say that my clear totes stacked in our dining area made a colorful wall. Last year I made a full size quilt for our DGD and only had to buy backing fabric, the entire top was from my stash and I felt pretty good about that. Although I try to keep my trips to JoAnn's to a minimum, I haven't found any quilt shops so far in this area, but if I find a fabric that I just can't leave on the shelf, I buy just one yard to add to my "stash" and that keeps me happy.
