LFBMN writes: I'm a veteran sewer of 25 years and have made several quilt tops with my "Stash". Yes just the tops, I am not sure I want to tackle the quilting part, we will see.

I always wanted a general size to cut my left overs into without having to pick a pattern first. This magazine was just the thing to get me to open up those bins!!

Imaquiltertoo writes: I've been building my huge stash for many years.There are shelves and cabinets full, half is probably 3yds pieces or more. One large cabinet with several shelves of all solids, another bookcase to the ceiling filled with under 2yds fabric pieces. There are rolls of backings material also. I have a large tub of scraps waiting for me to do something with. Need your magazine desperately. How in the worls did my stash get so out of control? lol

KYKaren1949 writes: When I first began quilting, I swore I would never have a huge stash because I thought it was a waste of money. Boy, have I ever eaten those words.
I love to find fabric sales with an entire group of fabrics so that I can go ahead and purchase a "quilt set" of fabric. I bought plastic containers at the local discount store and keep the fabric, the receipt of where it came from as well as the pattern all together in the tub until I can get to it.
Then, there's the Christmas stash, the fall stash, the Halloween stash, the 1930s stash, the Civil War stash, the baby fabrics stash, the tone on tone white and creams, the novelty stash......and on and on. Sigh!

Chrissy8 writes: My first comment on 'Threads'. This book looks amazing, and as I have a LARGE stash it would be so very useful. I used to sew when I was first married then life became too hectic and I didn't feel I'd got time to sew and let it laspse for far too long. Now retired, I joined a class and it was the best thing I have done for years! Friendly, talented people, encouragement to try new things and a restored love of stitching has enriched my life. Finding your site has been the icing on the cake - thanks for making it available.

user-1120310 writes: I have a lovely and adored stash of fabric, collected over many, many years of sewing. At this point I am trying to use the stash for most of my sewing; purchasing only what is needed to finish a project. However, the leftovers only add to the stash. My granddaughter once said I was the only person she knew who had a whole attic full of fabric. The attic is really the finished room in which I sew. Now that granddaughter is named the Executor of the Stash so it will all find good homes when I am gone. I learned to sew on feed sacks, so having a variety of glorious fabrics is pure luxury and joy and an endless source of possible projects.

I have also become addicted to "Threads" ideas in magazine and books, and am hastily compiling a stash of these too. I am sure this wards off Alzheimer's!

I would love this title to add to my collection as I have tried very little quilting and would love to develop my skills in that area too, as Mary Ray and others have shown how artistic it can be.

Thank you for continually introducing new ideas for us to play with.

wicked_stitcher writes: some might consider my stash shameful. but i do work on quilts w/old fabric. and because i strongly adhere to a self-imposed edict of using only "found" fabric, not something i buy retail in fat quarters or coordinated mixes, it can sometimes take me years to find the fifth fabric or a right combination of prints. and i know this, my spouse who often makes assemblage sculptures, can totally relate to my "habit." in fact, so much so that he built a special closet so that i can "catalog" my hoard and be aware when critical mass is reached in a dearly held project!

nanapamela writes: I had purchased (and had DH put together) three 8'x 6'x4' sets of industrial sheleving with three shelves each in my basement sewing area. These were stuffed. People were either horrified or in love when they saw it. twho shelves were just polartec. We discovered the basement was leaking and that the tub on the floor above was leaking as well as the disher. We didn't discover this until the smell was really obvious. My DDs came and help me sort and we found that most of it had been mildewed and was still damp. The dumpster was full when we were done and the dump said it weighed 4,000 pounds. Now I know wet fabric weighs more than dry, but I have to believe that even if it was bone dry there would have several tons! $ 23,000 later, the bone dry room was ready for me. Since them I have bought a small amount of fabric and made 190 Pair of polarfleece socks, 30 sets of kids hat sets, 30 baby buntings and 4 pair of thermal underwear since then, a superman cape and poodle skirt.

I keep it minimized by helping students in the Fashion Design program. Each year at least one gets to go 'shopping' at Neosha's store! I love to see what they make from the fabrics I bought! Each season I try to use something in my stash.

Each month I get new ideas from our Bernina Club on how to use the stash and how to repurpose other fabric sources--ties, shirts, jeans, etc. In a sense all of the clothes and piece goods become the stash!

MrsHGW writes: Like many others, I have inherited a good bit of my stash. I do projects for Church and Synagogue (mixed family) and love to mend or alter clothes or invent new. Amazingly when I think I have made a dent in my stash, things come back and I unpick the latest stage props, rework something else and seem to have more after I give away gifts than before. I save the trimmings from doing clothes alterations and resew them into new cloth for a project then get it back, unpick and recreate something new.

Each piece has a soft memory for me - sort of like looking at photos of my children when they were young. If you dug through my stash and pulled out any fabric I could tell you why I loved it, why I bought it, what I made, or what I still intend to make. My stash is still growing and my husband still loves me!

my basement measurement is 60feet x 30feet with shelves along the walls, plus i have another room down there that measure 20feet x 15feet that has shelves too and i've been collecting for ever. i hate to throw out any peice of material i cut them all into squares and strips when i have time and the others i keep in cedar chest or bins. so i would say that i could open up a fabric store with all the material i have. lol all my freinds say if you need anything they go shopping at loretta's store.

Some show it too.I have virtually every piece left from every garment I have ever made since grade school. I have an entire wall of one room with custom sized shelving for dozens of plastic and cardboard cartons filled with lengths. Most are prewashed, mostly sorted by type of fabric. Larger lengths, over six metres are on pant hangers and fill that room's closet, and I have several 'spacebag' type bags full of fabric and yarn, plus another 3 big rubbermaid bins of fabric in my bedroom, and a entire set of corner shelves that are packed tight with fabric, and more pant hangers with yardage in my own closet. I have plenty of books on quilting too, just haven't had time to sit and start doing it. Going to have to do something,there is just no room left :-).

Summer748 writes: I have a huge stash - don't even know how much, but I've been sewing and collecting fabric since I was in my twenties (now 60+). Between quilting and dressmaking I accumulated a fair amount of fabric, but the stash exploded as soon as I discovered dyeing and painting my own fabric, both cottons and silks. I like doing smaller pieces - crib quilts and art pieces, because it gives me a chance to explore new techniques and color combos without taking up a lot of space. I hope to do a queen size quilt someday. At the moment I have a lot of it in storage (because we're moving soon), and I'm looking forward to having a studio where I can spread out and play with my fantastic fabric, and dress Miss Perfect (my dressform) in quilted garments!

Soucieville writes: I have no idea how much fabric I have. I started collecting it in the late '60's and it has grown since then. I have 6-7 large boxes, some cardboard, some plastic, about the size of small coffins. 4 rollaway containers, for the bulkey material, 4-5 large plastic containers and the oldest are small cardboard, file sized, containers. I have always used some of the material every year, I just buy more all the time. I have slowed down over the last 3 years. I am using more of the "special" fabrics, rayon, cotton-rayon blends. This fall, winter, I plan on using some of the velvet I've had for too long. If I don't enjoy the fabric, who else will. I don't want to see it thrown out when I am gone. I estimate I have another 40 years, since I am only 60 !

At ASG, American Sewing Guild, we make a lot of things for children and these are great for their quilts. We also make purses for the Teenage girls.

Our local quilt guild makes a lot of quilts each year for the underpriveleged children as well.

So, even though I have a lot of fabric, I enjoy making things from these FQs and Jelly Roll Strips.

I do have to buy fabric for backing and binding but usually do that after the quilt is made.

Scraps are also great for making bags/purses which is great fun.

Am actually trying to reduce my stash so "Quilt Your Stash" is a great idea!
