Too, there are many folks who can use items that we are willing to part with.

I am in the same boat as Jeanne. I have too much stuff! So I do find good homes for what I part with. However when I do that, I often wished I hadn't because I could have used the item and hate to have to replace it!<br /><br /><br /><br />Janet Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14603831525380264938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511052179322289323.post-53143568736963733822013-11-27T14:35:47.207-07:002013-11-27T14:35:47.207-07:00I think I agree with all.

I have too much stuff to enjoy, or even to manage comfortably. I try to keep weeding, keeping the things I truly love, but letting some of the other items move on and find new lives elsewhere. This is even true of fabric for quilts. I have enough fabric right now to last several lifetimes, so more and more of it is being made into comfort quilts or donated.

It amazes me that making a whole quilt out of scraps does not reduce the amount in the box by any marked degree. I have just started a Loyal Union Sampler in blues and whites and it is not even making a dent. But the blocks look greatRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894692985899067217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511052179322289323.post-5569575903499351002013-11-26T18:23:40.424-07:002013-11-26T18:23:40.424-07:00I would say I am a "selective saver". If...I would say I am a "selective saver". If I see a future use, I save. If not, I toss. I save fabric scraps, cut them into the largest multiples of inches + a quarter-inch seam allowance, and put it in the proper tin for that size block. My husband saves food until it goes bad and I hate to look in the corners of the fridge! I have way too many issues of quilt magazines ... but long ago I tossed some of those large magazines McCalls used to make with knitting and crocheting and craft patterns, and have regretted ever since.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.com
