Mending projects... who wants to spend time mending when you could be quilting!

Me, too. Small scraps are anything that can't be made into a 1.5" square.

bent or dull pins, but only after I've retuned them to the pincushion a couple times :p

anything (other than the quilt! or my sewing machine) which got spray baste on it.

Any products fabrics whatever that I never want to see again :) I give away.

I cannot simply cannot throw out a book or a pattern! They take up so little room!

I have a hard time throwing anything away, but thread ends, empty spools, broken needles get tossed.

Me three! I always tell myself I will do it after I finish and then forget until I grab one again. That's when I really do it. Nothing more frustrating than a dull or bent pin or needle.

Bad pins, clipped threads, clipped corners, and candy papers, LOL.

I am tossing bent pins away (used them on the design walls), I recycle the plastic empty spools, and I toss fabric too thin to use as a starter thread on my sewing machine. They do get eventually tossed when full of stitching......
