I used to do it faithfully once a year in January but have gotten very lax about that so now I am drowning in fabric and patterns. I recently did a quick purge by just pulling out stuff I could see that was obviously not useful to me anymore. But I really need to take each piece out and do a more thorough assessment. I donate mine to Scrap, which is a non-profit thrift store that only sells arts, crafts and sewing supplies. I took several boxes to them at the beginning of the summer. They will probably get several more when I do my new year purge. I did categorize and organize my patterns a few weeks ago. They filled up four large dresser drawers!

I think I will take some pictures of the areas that are neatly organised. I have filled 2 big garbage bags with fabric so far. I was also reviewing my quilting stash. I know I will want to do more at some point but I can see how this would be a way of collecting crazy amounts of stuff.
