About now I feel like the guy who tries to finish the internet...it just isn't going to happen! :lol: So...do you throw this stuff away, do you keep it until you use, do you close the door & don't worry about using it?
I'm not good about getting rid of stuff at all.

I throw away a lot! All over the house, not just in my sewing room. I am anti-clutter so get rid of stuff often to keep it under control. I love to get rid of things we don't need, but my DH hates it. If it was up to him, we would live like hoarders! :roll:

I never get rid of anything that I think I might be able to use in the next 100 years,
but there are material that I know I will never use and those I take to the Thrift Store and what they can't sell/give away they sell to a place that makes them into rags. So none of it goes to waste.
I also give the scraps from my serger cuts off, to the Thrift Store for their rag bag.

I just took a load to a Goodwill drop off. Most of it is old, ugly, not good quilt material. The truck is a test to see if they get enough donations to open a store and I sure would like a store in this town as it is real close to me.
