Please don't get rid of all your stuff. When you finally come to realize that you want to sew and quilt again, everything is going to be so much more expensive. You may not even be able to buy some of your favorite tools anymore. Fabric prices will have hit the roof. Ask me how I know. Get a lot of your fabric stash, pile it on the living room floor. Go get yourself a cold IceTea, or Coke, or Coffee. Turn on some soft background music. Sit in the middle of the living room floor. Pick up random pieces of fabric, notice the colors, texture, rub your hand across its surface, look for patterns in the fabric. Appreciate the real beauty of it. The unique patterns on batiks are really works of art. Smell it. Does it smell like the fabric shop or new fabric? Remember you like this.
