I agree with Cash's Mom that no one with the room to store their items should feel compelled to get rid of it. My sewing room was causing me to be claustrophobic. There were bins of crafts I haven't touched in 10 years, I had so much fabric it was overwhelming. It seemed when I needed something either there wasn't enough of it or it was just not the right shade. I had all the NFL fabrics - but no one in the family follows the NFL so why keep it? I gave 10 paper boxes away to my sister's church quilting group. They wanted roll of batting that was taking up space because I have fallen in love with using washable wool. Also, I found that if I send a quilt to a long armer they prefer to use their batting - so it went to a good cause. The LOVED the NFL and MLB fabric - seems I had a lot of hard to find fabric. But I didn't feel bad what I kept. (A book for crafts to make with kids.) But so happy about getting rid of stuff others will use.
