How awesome that you keep it all. =) I always end up giving my creations away, but I do have a few. Yesterday I finished up a few orphan quilt blocks ~ I quilted them and bound them so that I can hang them on the wall. I decided I want to decorate with what I spend so much time doing so that I can enjoy the fruits of my labor. =)
As far as the fabric stash goes..I decided a few months ago that I am going to use all the fabric I have and the clothes I am saving for quilting projects and stop storing it all. I am missing out on a big portion of this craft by storing and not using. Its all about changing your point of view I do believe. I told my husband yesterday that I want to be know as a great quilter. I'm fortunate in that he supports me 1000%. I too have many rulers and tons of notions ~ some that have never seen the light of day...I'm working on that. I would give anything if one of my girls would quilt with me. If they would just get started it would change life as we know it. But they have had to deal with me & my obsession so much that they are barely interested...ho hum...I hope one day that changes....Good luck to you! I feel your pain but I am slowly changing my train of thought. =)
