Having recovered from flood damage I understand the anti-hoarding urge but can't imagine not having my stash of fabrics, etc. I've been collecting buttons and sequined appliques for over twenty years for a top I pieced in the mid 80's and haven't quilted yet....and that hasn't stopped me from setting aside every pretty little piece of fabric I've come across for the next quilt top, or frittering away moments occasionally daydreaming what the next one will look like... In a more recent period of under-employment I have learned to stay away from stores so I won't be tempted but that is more from an urge to spend more wisely now, not to have less fabric :D
