Wow, nice room and great job! Wish I'd read this last week when I was in the midst of my own clean and purge. I did similar things, getting rid of tons of tiny pieces and selvedges that I know others like but I never use. Brought a whole bunch to guild meeting last week in small, clear bags and nearly all of it disappeared. Also got rid of some non-quilt stuff and strips of batting cut from edges. Brought another load to our local recycling center swap shop, where I'm sure it all found a good home. Most was not up to sales quality to bring to the thrift shop for resale. Problem with a really clean storage is now I'm kind of stuck about starting a new project because I dread pulling stuff out again.
Love your little helpers, too. They look very much at home in your happy place.

I admire you Beth. I wish I could bring myself to purge and get rid of things but it always seems that when I do that, I usually have a need for it and it's gone and then I wish I had it yet to use. Love your Papillons. I have a Papillon too and my girl is Black and white. They are wonderful aren't they? Your sewing room looks great. What a joy to sew in an uncluttered space. I'm working on it. tee hee

Oh my gosh you did fantastic. I'm going through the same process. My sewing room is so small but have done a lot of sorting and rearranging plus getting rid of things that I no longer do. There is nothing harder for a quilter, sewer, and crafter to do than getting rid of things. It's like a big OUCH. I love your helpers. I've got 2 little ones also. Doesn't it feel so good to have accomplished that task? Great job and happy quilting.
