I was beginning to think that I was the only one and some sort of freak or something!<br/><br/>Carolyn, you just might recognize a lot of the fabric! *laugh* For the longest time I felt guilty about not loving my stash because yours brings you so much comfort. I'd ask myself why I couldn't be like Carolyn?! She LOVES her stash! What am I missing? But I think it is the motivation behind the collecting. You do it out of the love for the fabric. I was doing it from a place of neediness. How can that energy bring me joy? It can't. And so, I need to get that "neediness energy" out of my life. *smile* Sharon, I’m so glad you let me know that your stash doesn’t bring you joy, either.

I too will be watching this process not because I want to part with any of my stash...it gives me way too much comfort...but to see if there is anything I should help relieve you of! *smile* Good luck with this venture! Julie,

I've been following you for a while through the podcast and have enjoyed it. Years ago I bought an old 20 drawer wooden simplicity cabinet. It holds all my patterns plus the box of old patterns that came with it. In addition, I have fabric stash, a notion stash, a sewing library (I should just say a library). I thought of selling my stash, because like you my stuff doesn't give me joy anymore either. I do want to get back to sewing using what I have. I will be watching you and listening to you carefully to see what your outcome is with selling your stash. That might be my ticket. Sharon Hi Dr. Julie-Ann, I feel that we are kindred spirit also.
