Being able to let go of stuff I will never, ever use
It is still hard for me to let some things go -
But there are a couple of posters on here that do seem to be able to just discard "it" - if "it" is no longer useful or works for them.
I am working on developing more of that attitude.
I do realize that some quilters do not have the resources to ditch a project that is not going well - but for those that can -
why not?
Keeping "something" that isn't working isn't that much different from keeping something long enough in the refrigerator to actually get icky enough to feel okay about throwing it out.
For a long time, I justified my fabric buying and associated purchases by saying I didn't travel, go out, drink, smoke, or gamble. But if I had done those things - I would have memories - and not "stuff" to move around!
I am working on it!
I have gotten more selective about what I will bring home. And I will NEVER knowingly put a "bad behaving" fabric in a quilt or other garment. Or donate a bleeder. Much as discarding fabric pains me, that will go into my BILs rag bag - he's a mechanic - uses it until it gets icky, and then burns it. (He has a burn pit - about 3 feet wide, 3 feet deep, and 20 feet long)
