			<description><![CDATA[When I started sorting, my living room was buried for a month! I set up a folding table to roll up and tape paper around my fabric. I threw it in huge piles to sort it out. I bought 10 wire racks on wheels from Sam's to stack it on and I'm in the process of making covers for the racks. Works well for me. I can get to what I want instead of digging through stacks of heavy plastic tote boxes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If I had enough years left in my life I'd keep most of what I have and sew it up, even if I give it away. Problem is, I have both high quality garment fabric AND quilting fabric.! I've sold some yardage on the Yahoo group SewItsForSale. I'd be happy to give others who sew for themselves or those in need but, I haven't found anyone locally who makes clothes anymore. Also, I checked out the websites listed by TQS and they want money donations, not fabric.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A friend went through her stash a few years ago and gave away what she didn't see herself using. She had collected over many years, was in a position where she was not going to retire soon and could never use all of it. She kept some projects to make for family (two grandsons have come along since the purge). None of her daughters-in-la w would want her stash, plus she had started a couple of new hobbies. I got about 17 yards from her and there was much more for some other friends.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Having moved twice in the last ten years, I have had to cull my fabric stash drastically. My most frequently applied mantra has been take it in easy, small steps. Do NOT tear your sewing room apart. Do NOT take on more than you can finish in a day! Make sure you are able to sit down and quilt for a while any time during your clean up process. Quilting is about enjoyment and "organizing" is just to get you a supportive environment, not an end in itself. Some of the best quilters I know can sew amid absolute chaos! If you wait to quilt until you are totally tidy, it can just become another excuse not to get started quilting. One practical technique that works for me when I am struggling to let go of a piece of fabric is to cut or tear it in half and donate half and keep the other, without guilt, until if and when I am really done with it. It's a new day...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you're getting rid of red, white or blue fabric, you can also look for a local Quilts of Valor group. I believe they take any color fabric but red, white and blue is fabulous for our veterans!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[dsquared6031: presumably you have at least a two seater couch or spare chair that you can make a small pile on and a box in front of or under to do a little at a time so as not to be too overwhelming for you or take up too much space (temporarily). A little at a time. We must crawl before we walk. Good luck.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I wish there were links posted to places I could sew and donate much needed quilts/cage comforters for animals.
