We had to downsize from a 3-bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apt. about 5 years ago, and both my DS and DH, were adamant that I give away most of my fabrics. Because I had a sewing room upstairs and downstairs, the fabric got spread around; then my sister passed away suddenly and my nieces sent over all the fabric in her apt. My sister had been giving me fabric over the years; but the last batch was difficult to deal with, for obvious reasons. I thank God every day for my best friend who helped me sort through my stash, and finally telling them both that I had done enough. What she couldn't use, she passed on to a mutual friend who belong to a group that made quilts for children in hospitals, so it went to a good cause.
