I agree.....sell it !!!! There are many different ways to sell, but make it easy for yourself. Set a price per yard, like $2/yard regardless of what it is. Sell in 1 yard increments only. If you have a complete line of fabrics, you can sell by collection. Have fabrics sorted by color....easier for buyers to find what they need. And if you live anywhere close to Indiana....pm me and I will be right over....seriously!

My friend's mother had an entire house of fabric and quilting supplies as well as a long arm. She sold most of it by advertising on Craig's list and was able to get rid of a lot. Donate what you don't sell - Salvation Army will come pick it up for you. You will feel so much better to deal with it even if it takes several attempts.

Years ago I had a mountain of fabrics and little time to sew. My husband at that time REFUSED to move all my fabrics. I had just had surgery, and was not in the position to argue with him. I contacted a friend I had who made quilts for project Linus and I let her come in and take alll the fabrics she wanted. We BOTH felt very good about it. Years later I got divorced. Now, I have two cabinets of fabrics and when they are full... I stop buying. It helps me keep sane...

You have been given many great ideas from this group!
.

I want to thank all for the help it has inspired me to sort through the piles it will take me a long time but I know now with all your help and ideas I will make it.

i hope you have stopped adding to it :)
start using what you have- shop in your own (store)
try organizing according to theme/design instead of colors- that might help-
as in-
put together everything that would work well for baby quilts,
girl/kids quilts, boy/kids quilts
reproductions
blenders
florals
landscapes--- get my drift?
as you sort start in one area-don't worry about what is in the next room- only worry about what is right in front of you
as you get going you may come across stacks that you figure you will never ever use- set those aside- then snap pics of them- measure them and post them in the classifieds- people will buy them from you
but first is not adding to what you have- no matter how much you love it! write down your goals---do you want to get down to one room? do you only want to organize? decide exactly what you want to accomplish---and write it down---then work toward that goal- if you feel the urge to 'shop' -browse on line shops---looking- even adding to a cart---then empty that cart and move on---don't actually buy anything (window shop) until you have reached your goals.

If I had too much fabric the first place I would post about it would be here on these boards. Like alot of us, I am pretty strapped for funds most of the time, and getting fabric here is a life saver to me. The first place I check each morning is the items for sale here. I have bought several things, and be very pleased at the quality and the prices. After that I do not have any ideas that have not already been posted here for you. Good luck!

Do a yard sale this spring and put out your least favorites. You'll be left with a more manageable pile to sort and enjoy. And by the way, tell yourself you HAVE TO live long enough to enjoy your favorites.

you could start making charity quilts or call a local quilt guild, they would love the fabric for charity quilts to be donated to children or families in need

We have chairity groups that are begging for fabric....make prayer shawls, laprobes for elderly at senior homes. hospital crib blankets. These groups need it so badly. Contact your senior citizen organization for help in donating. Hope this helps, I have used this way many times to reduce my stash.

I have looked and looked and can't find any material that might have to do with computers. Would you happen to have any?
