Store with older fabrics?

My husband has threatened to call all of my quilting friends and give
each a few minutes in the studio. He was serious when he suggested
that the door prize for our guild show should be allowing the winning
ten minutes in my studio to grab anything they want!

Now that I am making samples for the store I find I am not using the
stash much at all. If this continues for another year I will have to
make a decision. We will be retiring in about three years and won't be
able to move all of this stuff. I will let you know my plans for
dispersal. It would take several vans. If Butterfly is bringing her
moving van it better be a big one.

I understand, Susan.
Around here the folks have been warned to not go rootling thru' the
area that holds the most stash; I won't be responsible for any
accidents caused by landslides or tumbling piles of cotton products.
Fortunately only the kitchen stands between us & the laundry room;
well, maybe not so fortunate as I tend to get sidetracked near
the 'fridge.
The law here is/was "You wear it: you wash it."
Both sons learned that early and hold to it today.
Ya' know, some of us dear friends would happily come over
and widen your stash path. Really, we'd be eager to help.
No problem. Have Cruiser: will fill it. ;-)

Cheers, Sweetie!

My whole point is that my studio IS a fire hazard and a walking

and the path is getting narrower all the time. Since I don't want to
stop them from doing their own laundry I have to keep that path open.

Not much wrong with that, IM(NS)HO. ;-)

I'm with Ragmop -- I work almost exclusively from stash, and I hate having
to stop in the middle of a creative streak to run around to stores looking
for just the right piece of orange. I keep my fabric purchases within my
budget, my studio isn't a fire hazard, and the amount of fabric I have
pleases me. I'm not worrying about whether I've bought more or less than
I'll use this year. *grin*

A cruise ship would hold so much more stash, though...

We're going on one next week. The paperwork says 200 lbs of luggage per
person. Pack light clothing-wise and that's a lot of fabric to bring
home ;-)

That's only about 800 yards a person. Not nearly enough. ;-)

I was thinking that just a few raiders would have the whole cruise ship to
themselves. Preferably something upscale like the QE2. Raul and the other
pool boys could peel grapes for us as we sail from port to port raiding
stashes and we'd drink champagne on the deck between ports. (Probably
shouldn't use the rotary cutters after happy hour, though! LOL)

Enjoy your cruise!
