I recently pulled out all of my fabric from all of the corners it was hiding in the various rooms of my house. I sorted everything by size, color, etc. I kept only those that make me happy and fit into my exiting bins. I have two bags of fabric and one bag of scraps that will be donated.

I have to let go of the impulsive need to make every quilt on every video I watch. I have so many projects lined up and a lot of fabric, so I'm working out a plan to use what I have for the patterns that I already own and the videos that I've already watched.

I'm also letting go of the quilting process for some quilts. While I have to put it in the budget, there's a local quilt shop with a long arm not far from me (three of them within a half hour drive) and I'm going to let them finish some of my bigger quilts that I don't have the room or time to do. I will be happier in the end and my small sewing room won't be so cluttered with UFOs and current projects.

What an interesting challenge! I will have to think long and hard about this. My initial reaction was that I wish I had let go an unfinished quilt top that I completed last month in my efforts to finish some UFOs. It took so long and was so frustrating to do that I realized I would have been better off to let it go. Lesson learned - some things aren’t worth the time that is necessary to get them done. But, what can I let go now? As I think about it, I realize there are a couple needlepoint projects that I am not loving. I have tried numerous times to make progress with them, but I’m just not happy with them. Maybe those should be the things I let go this month. Thanks for the great challenge. It has me thinking more.

Sorting through and letting go of some fabric to charity and cross stitch items that are no longer used to create some storage room for fabrics currently using for projects. Just have to make the time to sort and organize that will be the main challenge!

Oh My, I am 64 and taking care of my 95 year old daddy
I come home in the evening to my ever supportive and loving husband and my two adorable kitties and a room full of fabric and notions and a bed room upstairs with more.
Once a month I fill a moving box (from which I have saved from moving my dearly adored parents from Annapolis Maryland allll the way west to Loudoun County Virginia to be near me so mom could recover from her stroke in 2013
Life is a challenge in which we all must engage head on. The wonderful and the scary.

A box every month, I put my forgotten projects from the past years, too busy to take up again. I am at a time in my life that I just start fresh things. I give my over abundance to Sew Magarbo sewing school in Leesburg/Sterling Virginia. My friend is the owner and I know she loves having inspiring items. current quality fabrics for her student. I love doing this. I have been filling a box almost every month for the past two years. I gave the girls across the street, Madelyn and Elizabeth, a Hello Kitty sewing machine I found for a bargain. Those girls lost their momma in 2011 from uterine cancer. How terrible. I loved their mom.
Best wishes to all of my sewing friends

I cannot seem to make my comment appear on this page. I have tried several times. So sorry

I have a lot of polyester thread that I would never use- I’m hooked on my Aurifil! - so, it’s getting donated to a local high schools’ home ec class

I am letting go of fabric from my stash that was given to me or I picked up at garage sales and giving it to ladies that make charity quilts. I am letting go of procrastination and actually sewing my own charity quilts, my goal is to complete one a month. I am letting all my magazine subscriptions run their course and not renewing.
I am letting go of clutter. I am cutting up my piles of haphazard scraps and bits leftover from finished projects and cutting immediately into strips or half strips and 2.5 inch blocks. I will sew them together as leaders and enders while I am sewing other projects and make a bonus quilt as I go along.

I am letting go of fabric I know I will never use to two women that love to make charity quilts. I am also letting go of my procrastination and making my own charity quilts from "kits" that I made up for them but have been sitting on a shelf. My goal is to finish one a month and I am finishing #3 this week.
I am letting go of letting clutter rule my space. In my quilting haven I am cutting my leftover fabric from completed projects into 2.5" strips and half strips and blocks. The blocks will be sewn together as leaders and enders while sewing other things and I will have a bonus quilt before I know it.

As a beginner, I haven't yet accumulated an excess stash so I don't have stuff to let go of. The thing I need to let go of is the self imposed concept that any creative hobby is about perfection. I'm committed to ENJOY the process or not begin it!

I started a U F O Challenge at my Guild to help me and my fellow quilters complete the projects worthy of my attention. I also added magazines to the free table.

Letting go of fabric I know I'll never use to women who make charity quilts. Letting go of procrastination and sewing my own charity quilts (goal one per month). Letting go of clutter in my sewing haven by cutting up leftover from each finished project into 2.5" strips and squares.

I would love to make all the quilts that I have patterns. But I know that
could never happen in my lifetime. With being said, I will start with the books and magazine to be donated to local library. Every quarter they sell books, CDs to fund the library for their workshops. I have to get busy because that is coming up soon.

Giving quilts books to library for their fund raiser.

Donating notions and fabric or kits that I know I'll never use to my sister-in-law's quilt guild
