I am almost ashamed by the amount of fabric I have but also happy because the price of fabric is so high! I'm using quiltville method of scraps to reduce my tubs size.This board is so great!
It is also this board that has inspired me to try to use up/cut up all my scraps and make tops with them instead of just creating more mess. So I've been making scrappy quilt tops this year while trying to make my room more organized (folding fabrics, putting them in tubs)--trying to get myself back to the space allotted instead of all over the house. I'm not there yet but I'm definitely "going in a good way" as the expression my dh uses.

Just yesterday my husband said he wants our kitchen back. So, I am moving to the basement with my sewing. I sure will miss him! I need to get my holiday decor and laundry that stacks and piles down there put away before I even start sewing! Lots of great ideas on this topic! Thanks for sharing.

I am also in the "process" of cleaning, sorting, organizing. A little mess and clutter is fine, but than it gets to the point that nothing productive or creative will come out of there until time is spent getting it straight. Best wishes to all of us in our sewing sanctuaries be they small, big, neat or like jaciqltznok's!!!! (Yes, I feel better about mine after seeing jaci's!)
