Stash Questionnaire

I found this questionnaire on Sew mama sew!

• What do you usually sew?

I sew quilts, dog accessories, and bags

• When you shop for fabric, what size cuts do you usually buy? (i.e. If you see something beautiful, but you don’t have a use for it right away, how much do you buy?)

I do more of a 1/2 yard cut or more if I like it alot. Otherwise I do a fat quarter...

• Do you buy on impulse or do you go out looking for something you need?

I do buy on impulse alot but I do go looking for stuff I need too!

• Are you a pre-washer? If you are, do you wash your fabric before you need it, or only when you’re ready to use it?

I don't pre-wash, I 've never had a problem with it running, and i like the shrinking look...:)

• Do you iron it?

I do iron alot, I live for my iron! lol

• How do you sort it? (color, print size, collection, etc.)

I try to keep the collection groupings together but they are sorted in tubs by colors

• Do you have any special folding techniques?

Not really, I try to fold like fat quarters mostly.

• How do you store your fabric?

plastic bins that are sealed so nothing can get in...or get out! lol

• What tips do you have for building up a well-rounded stash?

I have a problem with this, I have alot of printed fabric but not much solids, I need to work on that part of it!

• When do you say enough is enough?

Nope, never will happen!

• What are some of your favorite stash-busting projects?

scrappy quilting projects :)

• Do you have a current favorite print in your stash? Let’s see it!

Right now I have alot of favorites, but the mermaid collection from Heather mendinco? Is my fav right now...

• What’s your definition of the perfect stash?
  

When I have to use a latter to get to all the shelves in my crafting area! :)
