So here's what I did last time--I have 5 close friends in my immediate circle and several in the next level. We all started talking about how we couldn't always afford to go shopping but we wanted to spend time together. We all have stuff that we liked at one time or another but now were tired of or felt it would be in our stash forever. So I said let's swap. Fun day together, out with the old and in with the semi-new. At the end of the day we gave a big box of stuff to the organizer of our retreats to be used either as prizes or as part of a relay for charity quilts. It was all good. This year I've invited 18 quilters. Some have very little to swap and some have no stash at all. That's ok because it's all about letting go. Win win for everyone! So talk to your friends. Maybe this will work for you.
