One recommendation for clearing out our homes that sticks with me, is to keep only those things that bring you joy. So as you go through your sewing room feel free to pass along those items that you know you honestly won't use. Sometimes the things we hold on to are actually causing pressure or stress on us, as it sounds like may be your case. You don't need to feel like you have to make scrappy quilts if that is not the type that you enjoy. Our tastes change over time and there is nothing wrong with that.
