I have always had fabric on hand from the days I was making clothes for my family. I didn't call it a stash. Just fabric I couldn't bear to part with. Now I can't imagine just getting rid of my stash. What if I gave away that wonderful old big flower print today and tomorrow I had this great idea for a broderie perse border! I would have to search all the outlet stores for more.
I have already told my daughters (who don't sew) to give all my sewing equipment and fabrics to the small quilting group I go to.
