I spent a couple of hours last night refolding and sorting my stash, between my 15 month old daughter ripping it off the shelves at will and me rifling through it whenever I get a new project in mind it was a mess.
Well Since it was so nice and neat I decided to count up just how much I had in that 'little' stash of mine.
Turns out I have over 230 metres of fabric (insert googly eye emoticon here), and that doesn't count the other 10-20 metres I have set aside for projects on the go. I also have a big rubbermaid container FULL of scraps. All of this has been collected in the past year!
I have them seperated into four groups, general prints, plaids, childrens prints, and solids.
Last winter I was driving a snow plow and making some spare money, whenever I got paid I would head down to the Fabricland clearance centre and pick through their sale tables, which were often on clearance themselves at 50% off. So I would pick up almost ANYTHING that was resonably pretty and the proper fabric for quilting, cotton or a cotton poly blend is ok with me as long as it doesn't feel or look crappy I bought it! Most of the yardage I have was bought anywhere from $1-3 a metre.
I need MORE!!!!!!
I think I have a problem ;)
