Without the Brother machine I'm giving away, I will have 4 in MN & 1 in TX - but I do use all of them, so don't feel bad about it. My quilting fabrics are well-organized by type & color in shallow bins. I have to admit 400 + masks and 2 quilts this Spring & Summer have not made a noticeable dent in the supply, even though I have not bought fabric all year - so I'm on a fabric diet for a while yet! Planning 2 t-shirt quilt Christmas gifts using fabric I already have on hand will be my next challenge.
My other fabrics date back to my working days & the times of costuming belly dancers. Not doing either any longer, it is time to part company with that which I will never use. (Some I saved thinking I might have little granddaughters, but I got my precious boys instead.) I belong to a Textile group and the American Sewing Guild, so my treasures will easily find new homes. Maybe that will gain me enough space to set up a dedicated painting area - right now I have to put all sewing stuff away & cover the cutting table every time I want to paint, so I don't do it often.
