    WooHoo ... $2.00 a yard at the LQS! I know that I wouldn't have been happy with just the one piece of fabric and would have had to buy more. You showed great restraint. As to her comment, she knows we quilters buy LOTS of fabric and if the "kidding" tone wasn't in her voice, then it may have sounded sarcastic.
    When I present the bolts at the cutting counter and am asked "how much do you need" my response is "I don't need any ... I JUST WANT IT." That is why I'm Fabriholic.

    It's unbelievable just how much fabric you can accumulate. I was even in a HARDWARE store today and they had fleece $1.99 for a 50" x 70" pieces! Well, guess what ---- i bought about $40 worth LOL

    That's not too much, I was talking to a friend the other day, while we were in a fabric shop and she said she was in the process of sorting and folding her fabrics. She mentioned she had 87 bins, (large rubber maid size) in her basement. Now that's a stash!! Must confess, I'm right up there with the best of them!! I figure it's insulating my home whether it's in a finished quilt or in a cupboard. Now if I could only get DH to see it that way!!

    Can I come over and play??? Your stash is wonderful. It is like having your own quilt shop.

    Your organization is just great. You must be so inspired everytime you walk in there.

    WOW!! 87?? You could quilt for years and never run out! I guess that is another way to look at it, if the world came to an end you could quilt for a long time.

    Misty, HOW do you have that fabric folded, so it stays on the shelf like that; like books at the library..I love the way you have it, but have NO idea how to go about folding it, to make it stand like that......please share with us how you do it....so I can be a copy cat...........4dogs/ Judy
