Let's Hear It For The Stash

 I've never felt like I've had to justify

having a fabric stash.

It's important to have a readily available resource

for your creativity.

I do use my stash.

I don't horde it (too much) or

buy excessive amounts (too often).

I buy what I like and

enjoy the pleasure of creating 

something tangible from it.

There are times when having a stash

is super important.

 How about when you need

a particular style of fabric

and a shop, even a good shop,

doesn't have anything close to

what you were hoping for.

Or that particular color just isn't popular 

right now.

Having a good resource of reproduction fabric

came in handy last

year as I stitched along with

Barbara Brackman's 

Stars in a Time Warp Sew A long.

Barbara discussed
so many different types of
historical fabrics.
Without a good stash,
I doubt that you could have
found all the different examples.

 
 I finished machine quilting and binding
my Stars in a Time Warp.

 
It was a fantastic study.

I made 72 star blocks
and didn't buy one piece of fabric.
Thank you stash!

Until Next Time-
