Well done Iceblossom. Just keep telling yourself that over and over until it works like magic.
I fell from the farm cart yesterday. I bought 8 FQ's off line to freshen a scrap quilt I'm cutting pieces for a leader ender project. They will be cut up completely for several different scrap purposes. So, they will not take up residence in my fabric drawers. I guess, technically, it really doesn't meet the "no stashing" guideline. So, to me, it counts as a fall until it's actually used. hmmm, I wonder how fast I can get it used before anyone notices it.
oops, silly me, it hasn't even been delivered yet.
Do you ever just get tired of what you have. Sometimes, I find I buy the same fabric over and over and over.(Its a vicious circle!) After I make a few scrappies out of it, I get down right bored with it. If it matters, I have taken like 5 Walmart shopping bags (filled to overflowing) to the thrift store in the last couple of weeks. It's funny after reading Iceblossom's post. Because, I always go back a few weeks later to see if it's still there. And, most of the time, there isn't a single piece of it there. So, someone else found a use for it. And, I'm glad. (I only donate to a hospice run thrift store. ) I know there is still one more full bag that needs to be taken also. But, I am not done filling the bag up yet. I wilted a little on the purge. I got nervous that I actually had holes to fill. (I don't want to fill holes.) I only want fabric that I love and that I will use. I'd like to eventually get down to half of what's left. which gives me plenty to play with. Room for my fabrics to breath a little. And, not so much that I feel overwhelmed. (I'm almost there.) For me, I will never quilt fast enough to sew my way through all I have. So, I donated a lot to help me be able to breath and not feel overwhelmed. I know someone else will put it to good use.
