It's my nature to be a 'cleaner-outer,' while my husband is a packrat. I have continually culled my patterns, fabric, kits (made up from stash and purchased) and finished unquilted tops over the years. There is no virtue in this; it is just really easy for me to get rid of stuff; in fact, it makes me happy. It helps that I have an accommodating friend involved in several groups who is happy to take my stuff and distribute it. It also helps that our house is small, so there is very limited storage space, and that I have to avoid bending, so putting things in bins is not a temptation. My latest 'rule' to help myself limit purchases is to put bundles off-limits. I realized that it was the group of fabrics together that appealed, but when looked at individually, there was no desire to acquire them. Good luck to all of you aspiring to clear out your supplies!
