Sounds like you have me beat on fabric. I made a New Years resolution not to buy any until I have some of my older stuff sewn up. Well, stopped in the local quilt shop this morning and they were having a sale on fat quarters. So much for that resolution!

LOL - We thought we would move to something smaller when my son moved out but when I looked into apartments, I only looked at layouts that had at least one "large" bedroom with a large walkin closet for my sewing stuff.... :-)

My kitchen counter is my cutting table. My mat and cutting tools are at the ready. Oh, to have a designated "studio" for all my sewing needs. Wow, rooms full of fabric IS a lot. Guess I don't have that much fabric after all. Better go buy some!

Have you heard of the TV show, Hoarders? This sounds like a case of FABLE (Fabric Accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy) or just plain ADD. Make a list of projects you want to do and get the materials together ... then purge your extra stuff to the nearest quilt group that makes charity quilts. Share the wealth!

When you said small, I thought you meant SMALL! I have 700' total. Two counters in the kitchen that are 2 feet each, one on either side of the sink. Only one sink. No prep place to speak of. I guess its a matter of perception! I have all my stash in MY closet. I live here with DH and Paws.
