When I had children, I stashed it in boxes labeled carefully as to content and color.

Since my children have grown and gone, and I have no grand children, we hardly use our dining room, which is quite large. It has now become "Sewing Central", with racks filled with fabrics, again according to their content and color. I like to keep cottons together separate from silks, as well as wools etc.

When people visit, they can't help but admire the beautiful colors and ask about my sewing. Since I've been sewing for over fifty years, I have many stories to share. The most often asked question is, "Why do you have so much fabric?" My daughter says, "She who dies with the most fabric wins." I say, "You never know what will inspire me or how long the inspiration will last, so just sew."
