I’m still chugging along with my stashbusting although I’ve buy when I really want or need something too.

Today I’ve been piecing backs and cutting bindings from stash as well as cutting a few more things to send to Mom so by the time I’m done I’ll probably have used 20 – 25 yards just today!

I think you should just get the remainder of the Dimples fabric line that you don’t have. What if it were to be discontinued and you could never get it? You know you need it for your books! And you’re such a good wife and mother as well as encourager to us.

I’ve been too afraid to join in with a report, but I am planning to hop on Judy’s Show Your Stash bandwagon, and I got brave and showed my stash back when she first challenged us to. Now my goal is to improve it’s organization before the end of the year, when I have to post pictures of how it looks, and then spend all of 2010 trying to make it look even better. So I’m not throwing in the towel on the current stash, but after spending an entire afternoon refolding what was in just two bins, I’m beginning to doubt how much better I can make it look before the end of the year (or even by the end of next year)! Whew, I have a LOT of fabric! I have no room to add any more before the end of the year . . .

Reading one of the above comments, “I don’t regret a single piece of fabric that came into my house,” I have to say I agree 100% – except for the stuff I was buying in the first weeks, before I knew what I really liked, or even how to really look at the fabric in a shop at all. All the bolts can be completely overwhelming at first!

Now that I’ve been buying fabrics I’m in love with, and figuring out how they go together, I have no regrets.
