I am never over-whelmed by my stash-I LOVE my stash-I am PROUD of my stash-but I do get really envious when I see pics of other's incredible stashes that make mine look really insignificant!! THAT makes me want to buy more!!! LOL

I am overwhelmed too. I buy fabric from the same collection mostly, then can not find a pattern to use with the fabric. I feel like I am doing this backwards, but can not help myself when I find beautiful fabric.
I know this has been addressed before (fabric or pattern first), I need help in this area.

Yes, Prism, I was totally overwhelmed in the Fall. I have had fabric that was as old as 20 years!!
I gave away a lot of fabric, cleaned out my sewing room, actually it still isn't finished but the holidays got in the way.
I feel so much better. I really had too much (for me) and it turns into something counter-productive.
I still have a lot of nice fabric but my room is calmer for me to work in and I don't miss one piece I gave away.
It went to people who could use it and that made me extra happy :D:D

I had a water leak yesterday that got at least 60 yards wet. Could have been much much worse.
