We just can't help ourselves when we see a fabric we love. To heck with what we're going to do with it! We just buy it and then try to figure out what to do with it later. I'm horrible about going online and seeing this and that and before I know it I've bought enough fabric to make 20 quilts. LOL!!! It's like Christmas all year long for us quilters. :)

Just remember those scraps make scrappy quilts or even string quilts, so very little loss. I have gotten material that later viewing, know I will never use, so just sack it up for Goodwill or simular place because there are others that will need this material for some project. Wish I had the room that you do, but all I have is a very small walk-in closet where I share the vacuum cleaner, coats and cloths(off season). Can a quilter ever get "too" much material?????? Laughing here.

oh, thank you for posting a picture that looks like my sewing room. All the quilt shops and Hobby Lobby and Joann's are having sales and I did not resist. With the holiday and my having carpal tunnel surgery now on both hands, the room is a wreck. And all I want to do is quilt, which I can't do at all. You are not alone in having a messy room, thank you for having the courage to post these pictures.

Of course, I have 2 garbage bags full of fleece in my garage, a donation from someone, and no room for it in my sewing room. Time to make some blankets for charity!

Well I too have had to clean and reorganize. I just went to Ikea for boxes and Home Depot has shoe boxes for $1.19 each. They are clear and flat. I finished the Quilt Studio now the walk-in closet is yelling Clean Me! Yes it is next! Just take one step at a time. I told my small LQS that I offically have more fabric than she does in the store. Yep. I also told my son what it is worth just in case he needs to help get rid of it! So hubby does not trash it or give it away! Stay Focused and have fun. Luann

Looking good! It really is a good idea to work from the stash. I have set that goal for myself.

You can never have enough fabric - that is my motto. That being said. I would add an additional shelf to the wooden hutch(?) on the left side of your photo for more storage & fabric.

Your organized room looks very nice! Good job! Keeping it neat and tidy is easier to do once it's cleaned up.

I know the feeling. There have been some great online sales and I have been stocking up on mainly batiks, so it is getting time to reorganize my stash.
