I can do that and I can even get slower...But I would not make it much past my next retirement check. I am putting any one who agrees to this on my emergency prayer list. This is serious.

It should help.

I told my husband I needed a bigger car with a bigger trunk to hide my stash...I know one lady who put her fabric bought at a quilt shop into grocery bags to get the fabric in her house.
How many men 'hide' their treasures???????? And, why do we have to do anything to the fabric! Just looking at it makes me happy. I even pet the fabric now and then.
Went way overboard on Ebay and now have a fortune in tubs to relocate my stash...but I can see what I have and not just a wall of cardboard boxes marked 'fabric' :-)
