Welcome to the club, sweetie! I've cleaned out stuff and then taken it back out of the give away pile. It's an illness and the sooner you face it, the better off you will be. Remember! the one who dies with the most wins!

I'm beginning to think most of us on this board could be on Hoarders just for our quilting toys. :shock:[/quote]
I have thrown away scraps only to pick back out of the trash. I did cut up some old lace that was unuseable to tie up other lace strips. A few years ago I gave about 3 big garbage bags of fabric to a ladies church group that sews for missions because it was stuff I would never use & I still got stuff. My name is Debra & I am a fabricaholic.

OK, you ladies got me moving & I finally re-organized the den into a sewing room. I found an office chair for $5, got new handles for the desk for only $.94 each, and am working on getting the fabrics & things orgranized so I can swing into action whenever the "urge" strikes! Thanks for getting me motivated. I'm really trying to reuse/repurpose as much as I possibly can. I make trips to thrift shops when I'm looking for something to use in there. Thanks again. :-) S

I saw some fabric online clearance but I just got some 2 weeks ago that my husband saw come in the mail. I thought for a moment of ordering what I wanted and having it delivered to my sister. Then when I go visit her and come home with stuff, I can say my sister gave it to me!! (I pay the bills. . . . ) Would that be too sneaky??
