Daughter told me to 'downsize' because she did not want the job of having to go through everything, so I started. And sorry I did 'gift' several items I wished I had back. Gave things by the car full to neighbor who recycled or gave to charity. De-cluttered my sewing room and overflow and now share the sewing room with dh, since he likes to sew too. Came down to conclusion, if I am enjoying it and have plans for the fabric, I am keeping it. Period. End of that story. Daughter has not returned to see the results in last two years, so maybe she thought it was impossible for me to de-cutter the house.
Yes, I am buying more fabric and patterns because it makes me happy and I jsut might finish in into quilts! This year!
