Before, I thought my stash was too small to do a 'year of the stash', but now that I see that it is more about being mindful about buying fabric and using what you have more, I may have to hop on the bandwagon. Money is too tight to be buying nonsense when I've got big quilty plans! Good luck with your stashpocalypse!

I would not leave piles of money sitting on shelves and in drawers, yet I have a room full of fabric doing nothing month after month, year after year. So 2016 will be a concerted effort to be frugal.
