Anyone that save that is not someone I could sew with. She would get on my nerves in no time. :p

Usually I "toss out" unsolicited opinions about my quilts or designs. (I make them for me, not because I need 'outside' validation.)
Also bent pins
used needles
thread ends and clumps
scraps of paper
totally wampuss/what I consider irredeemable/mispieced blocks
the skinny strips from straightening a folded cut of fabric
old quilt magazines which have served my purpose (usually to the guild)
dull seam rippers! (My absolute pet peeve; they are so cheap, just replace the thing, for Pete's sake!)
dull rotary blades! (My next pet peeve, LOL!)

Time on the internet. Lost forever.

Wine bottles, chocolate wrappers....oh, wait a minute, wrong board! Hahaha....

Seriously, I toss broke/bent pins & needles, dull rotary blades, thread ends, smidges of fabric, papers removed from paper piecing, empty spools (not the wooden ones though), and sample blocks that can't be redeemed (really bad mistakes, etc.).

I throw away used sewing machine needles, bent hand needles. I keep my small scraps for starters and toss after used a number of times. I sharpen my rotary blades but toss after they have nicks. I toss lots of thread bits.
