Sorry I can't help you. Just had to tell you, and pleases don't be offended, but I laughed myself silly reading your post. I have done this more than once over the years and am really glad I'm not the only one out there. Good luck finding your information. Sometimes I do, sometime I don't, but I'm building an awesome quilting library.

After reading these posts, thank goodness I'm "normal" buying things, then forgetting WHY I bought......or having duplicates. I'm getting better about putting pictures, patterns and fabric all in one bag.......sometimes.

I've done that on occasion. At one point in my life I bought some black t-shirt material and some black n white t-shirt material. I don't like black and the black n white was a 1 1/2 to 2 inch stripe. Look like jailbird material. Sooo I tossed it. Got to thinking about the $$$$$$$$$ I was throwing away and pulled it out of trash.
ended up making a king sized quilt out of it. It looks like giant checker board, gave it o my DGS for high school graduation. AND someone offered him $1500.00 for it.

I am feeling so much better after reading all these posts! I've been guilty of all of the above and thought I was the only one, double buying fabric, books and magazines. That just means I really must have liked it a lot to buy it twice
