Have you got a Stable

[Manuela]

Everyone except @Lowena .

And me. My stash is really tiny and most of the fabrics know what they want to become 

[Ploshkin]

I'm with the non stable (unstable?) people.  I've only really got offcuts and a couple of bits of fabric that weren't as I expected and I don't know what to do with them.

[Lowena]

@Pearl  is correct...... I'm certainly "unstable" ( in the nicest sense of the word  ) 
I went to the craft show at Exeter yesterday and only bought fabrics for specific project...I'm not an "in case " accumulator

[Surest1tch]

I've definitely got one of those, need a stable to keep it in too

I've definitely got one, and it never diminishes. My philosophy is if I make something from the stash then it has to be replaced with another piece of fabric.
I have also got a stable full of patterns as well.

I'm on a 'one in - one out' philosophy now. If I buy some new fabric, a piece of fabric I no longer love has to go to the charity shop. @Manuela the inhabitants of my fabric stash usually know what they want to be, but sometimes they change their mind and don't tell me.

To say it in Ann Roeley's words: 'You should talk firmly to them'

Thanks @Manuela - that's where I've been going wrong!

Every time I try that I just end up cooing at it and stroking it.

Mine know as well but they're even lazier than I am. They keep saying mañana.

I've switched to a "one in two or three out" philosophy, all of equal or greater yardage.

Yes that counts @Francesca . Just impressed you have a stash spreadsheet....
