I was excited yesterday because I got my spice cabinet organized and tossed outdated spices. Baby steps, right? LOL Moving is overwhelming, but is a great way to purge.

My friend belongs to 2 quilting groups, and she's going to see if anyone can use them. I need to get rid of other stuff, but I have to stop and do a couple of projects.ShirleyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977213395999971029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264679873028408512.post-49539514633280990072020-01-25T08:34:14.959-07:002020-01-25T08:34:14.959-07:00WOW!!

Sounds like you've been really busy with the downsizing and making good progress. That's such a chore! Congrats on all the progress.

I have stalled out on mine because the scanner on our printer died before Thanksgiving. Now the holidays are over and we have a new printer, so after I finish two other projects I will be able to get back to my photos. Good luck with the downsizing!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128379696456444487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264679873028408512.post-36279401787890342212020-01-24T15:36:48.018-07:002020-01-24T15:36:48.018-07:00What a generous donation to someone who can and wi...What a generous donation to someone who can and will complete you wonderful quilt tops!!

Made me feel good to know it is going to a more useful future. Totally understand your whooping. We sold off a lot of stuff when we had DH's mother's estate sale and we are continually cleaning out files.

Those definitely aren’t your average donation quilts! I think it feels good to get rid of unwanted things and know someone else will put them to good use! We move so often for my husband’s job that I purge every few years. Things accumulate in only a few years so I can imagine 35 years worth of things!
