I've "outgrown" some books, patterns, notes
Back in the dark ages, before internet, I had to gather and file articles to both keep up to date and have resources for teaching. I continued to do that beginning in 1998 when I really took off on my quilting passion.
Now, I am sorting my books and emptying large 3-ring binders. I guess I could look on the bright side and tell myself that I am repurposing the plastic sleeves! :-) The major push is that I feel trapped by things! My shelves were full of books, magazines, and patterns.
This purging won't be accomplished overnight. Someone posted on another thread the thought: WILL I USE IT?
Getting rid the overload should free up time to actually sew. Getting to the sewing part is the carrot before this ole horse...
