Don't ya love options? lol

The way I justify this "hording" is that I have sewing areas on three levels of my home, plus my travel supplies, plus classroom supplies for my 4-H students. Trouble is, as a project gets moved to a different location, so do associated tools. Then I have migrating supplies. I blame it on the geese.

I dont have many duplicates as I have only been quilting for about a year. You guys have a lot of great suggestions. I have all my notions out where I can see them. This makes me use them more often as well.
I do find myself buying some things in multiples. I guess I overestimate on what I acually need such as threads. I have a large extra stash.

Okay, I am invited to clean out a women's sewing room of her material and quilts, and maybe finish some she started, I need
help to hold back from hoarding, oh my, I am bringing my
husband, but he is a hoarder too, I think I'm going to be in
trouble.
