well, I have over the years amassed quite a stash and like you, I don't want to make things for others
bc I feel obligated to "not waste".
If there is no joy in what your doing...it's that simple - there's no joy.
Do what make you happy.
I actually intend to make some things with very large pieces and I also intend to do a lot more
sewing that is NOT quilting.
I've always loved sewing and have been realizing lately that I miss it.
Somehow, being on quiltboards has made me feel like I had to choose a side.
Hogwash!
I was mullygrubbing to my oldest dd one day about buyer's remorse and she said,
"Mama, if buying those things made you happy and having them and dreaming of what you could do,
even if you can't do it all, you have been happy and that's all that matters now.
You can't undo it, but you enjoyed it. It served a purpose and is there if you ever feel differently."
Did I mention how smart she is?
