Hello, my name is Linda and I'm addicted to fabric. I have a small sewing room, maybe 10' x 12'. I realize people are still sewing on kitchen tables and that I'm lucky to have a sewing room. Lately I've been on a buying spree again. Mostly off of some of the Facebook sites. I know I have too much fabric and will never use it all. So sometimes I become a seller on Facebook of patterns, books, and fabric. Although making charity quilts is what I like to do, when I have this much fabric built up it also makes me feel guilty that I'm not sewing fast enough. Selling allows me to feel like I can breathe again.

Amen! Thank you.

I've been slowly clearing my house of everything I don't need since my husband died two years ago. I've sold some but most has been donated. As my family says, I don't need the money - not rich but definitely comfortable - and I don't need the stress of trying to sell stuff.
That said since I am moving in the spring into a small (rented) apartment - well now I have a deadline. Taking the one bedroom to get into the building then I go on a list for a two bedroom, so I have to decide if I take, store or dispose of. With the added problem of envisioning what the two bedroom might need.
