I don't know where she got this, but "Thanks" to Selina. Good excuses for stash collectors (though I edited this a bit) - some go with other addictions too:
• It’s a patriotic duty to support the cotton farmers, textile mills, and needlework shops.
• "Oh, it's not for me! I'm buying it for a friend!"
• It's on sale.
• It's non-fattening.
• Like dust, it's good for protecting previously empty spaces in the house.
• Because it's there.
• It's much cheaper to cover the floor with charts and kits than new carpeting.
• The devil made you do it.
• It's the only remotely artistic thing I have ever done.
• I can't live without it.
• I have new shelves for stash storage.
• It will go with some I bought last year.
• It's so pretty, and I'll use it some day.
• I want my daughter to have a proper inheritance.
• Without threads and fabric, I would have nothing to do with my needles and my hoops/frames and my scissors.
• It does not promote tooth decay.
• It calms the nerves, gratifies the soul and makes one feel good.
• If I don't buy it now, I may never see it again.
• A large stash is the sign of a creative mind.
• I owe myself a reward for that half-pound I lost last month.
