    ARE THOSE SWEATER SEPARATORS?
    Thanks. No, it's a medical records cabinet with dividers. I posted it on a thread about "Another way to store fabric".

    I will have to live to be 250 to use all the fabric I have...I have gotten so bad...I hide it from my husband when I get home from shopping! Really, really need to clean out again, but have been doing that with my local quilt guild...we make quilts for hospice and two different organizations for baby quilts. Maybe one day I will be able to see the floor of the two walk-in closets the ceiling to floor cabinets in my sewing room, the cedar chest and the chest plus god only knows how many bins in my storage shed! HELP!!!

    I buy fabric because I like to and I can. I may use it or I may not. Doesn't matter to me. I like having it.

    Uh......I am buying at a much, much faster rate than I am sewing so...guess I'm guilty.

    QBeth,
    That's the most organized stash I've ever seen ! I'm jealous !
    Where are your scraps and strips ? Probably organized on shelves we can't see ? Great job !

    This is while I was getting organized. Since then, I have added quite a bit. I will take better pictures when I get all done.

    It is even worse when you work in it all day. I have only one small sewing room now. So, I have downsized from the room to sew in, the room to put stash in and the other room for stash.
    I have enough fabric for many lifetimes.....

    Scraps are in zip lock bags by project; should organize them by size or color or something. Another day.

    Jelly strips, charm packs, and such (only a few) are in a separate storage container.

    I'm in the process of organizing my sewing room so right now, everything is piled high at one end of the room. I'm pulling things from the pile as I go along, "uncovering" a lot of stuff that's been in bags for far toooooo long. I suspect my furry ones are enjoying the challenge of tunneling through the pile; just hope they don't get lost in the process! _ :P _
