This weekend, I'm going to descend into the depths of my basement to clean carpets (thank you cat), put the family room back together (thank you, flood), and rearrange the craft room to accommodate a chest of drawers (thank you to the people who gave it to us). The chest of drawers will become the storage cabinet for my fabric stash.

When I started quilting, my husband's ex-wife (we count each other as friends) started teasing me, prophesying that I'd soon have multiple plastic bins filled with fabric. Since I had no plans to build a stash, I laughed at her. I currently have two plastic bins filled to overflowing with fabric and misc quilting supplies. It's only a matter of time before she comes back over and sees the proof. I absolutely cannot let that happen!

Besides, my stash is about to grow significantly. Dad let me know that he's ready to get rid of my mom's fabric stash. She had some pieces cut out for a quilt. I plan to use those pieces to create some quilts for my brothers and my dad and myself.
