    ReplyDelete
  85. I need to organize my stash and, maybe, start purposefully "stashing" instead of just catching prints I love when they go on sale! I have *ZERO* purple or lavender fabrics. It's a color that just never seems to appeal to me.

    ReplyDelete

  103. After inheriting fabric stashes from a couple of people dear to my heart - dear even before they shared their culled stashes ;) - I realize that most of my stash involves fall colors. The colors above invigorate me, yet they are the ones that I have the least of! WoW! Thanks for the generous offer.

  133. My problem is that I seem to have a lot of novelty prints but not a lot of true color fabris, so it's not missing a specific color, just missing more generic prints that go well with many things.
