What overwhelms me, is the huge number of fabric companies, the huge number of designers, the huge number of new fabric collections, the huge number of new rulers, gadgets, thread, the huge marketing push for us to NEED one of everything. It is this marketing that I have to take a step back from, including fabric shop newsletters, and magazines, which, let's face it, are selling more than teaching, at least to us who have been quilting for a decade.
I guess what I am saying, is that I am more overwhelmed by the push to think I need to constantly buy, more than I am by my huge existing stash. Best advice that I ever received was to get grounded by choosing a smallish (new) project, and working only on it, forgetting everything else, and regain the lovely satisfaction of completing it. And I also like to think back to when quilting was truly using whatever fabric the person could get their hands on.
