When I settled on quilting, I got rid of everything else pertaining to crafts. I have tried every craft known to man. I did keep my cross stitch things (some of them), but every thing else went. I put a couple of free ads in my local newspaper, and got lots of replies. That took care of all the fabric that I would never use. Then I gave all my ribbon and silk flowers to the school that my DGDs attended. I have never looked back and couldn't tell you about all the fabric that I gave away, but several new sewers and quilters were very happy campers. Some of my fabric is over 5 years old, and I don't have any plans to get rid of it. Some of the big box store fabric will be used for charity quilts next year. I have become a fabric snob. lol Not proud of it buy will admit it.
