But I promise from now on I will advertise before tossing!!!
    You're forgiven.

I told her that this was the stuff that I used on a regular basis and asked her if she had any ideas about storing it. Her comment? "Mom, you got way too much stuff!" :lol:
    My son's sentiments exactly. It is beginning to be mine also as I prepare to move to a Sr. apartment. In making this preparation, I found that a fairly large bag, made from some of the fabric is easier to store than boxes or plastic totes. They stack and stack and stack. I separate the prints from the plain and even have a bag for left over batting. I make labels for the fabric from the bottom up to know whatand how many yards of each is in the bags.

    My husband tells me if I get any more "stuff" we will have to move out. Others suggest he build on another room.
    But isn't it fun? Finding a stash here and there is my only enjoyment, like finding old friends.
    Move over, I want to be in the picture with all the rest of you.

    I'm hanging on to all fabric and when I go to the Great Quilt Shop above I'm asking all my quilty friends to come over and drink a toast to me and divide up the spoils.
    A gal can NEVER have to much fabric, tools or sewing machines.

    Wow... nice sister. Does she quilt? If not, watch out... she might be tempted to start just to downsize your stash. :lol: :lol:
