laadw - So pretty - where did you get the great thread rack?

Alyssa---your room is so cute and cozy-I love the cheery yellow walls.

Quilterwhisperer---your room is great too--I love your tools of the trade area

Gayle--I always love looking at those great fabric cabinets of yours!!

Here is mine---I posted it a long time ago! http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-10184-1.htm

Marcia, you are making us all jealous!!! Your room is fantastic.

Love your thread holder on the wall. Where did you get it?

Holy fabric stash Batman! That is one full set of cabinets Gayle! Does everyone have a stash like that or are you just a superb collector?

Ummmmmm I am really good at collecting?? Hi, my name is Gayle and I am a fabriholic. I got the collecting down pretty good before I learned to quilt and have just perfected it. I feel a deep down need to add to it monthly (sometimes weekly, a little here, a little there)
Not everyone has a stash like this, some have much more!!! Among my quilting friends here in my town I have the largest collection. They know where to come if they are looking for something, especially if they need cool colors, especially if they need purples, or greens.

Here's mine recently cleaned up!
Everyones rooms look so nice!

Well I aspire to become that good at collecting someday! I have one Rubbermaid bin that holds my current collection. I see fabric I like all the time, I just can never decide how much you buy of fabric that you like, but don't have a project in mind for. One yard? Two? Less? :)

Well,..... I like to buy stuff on sale. Fortunately I am in an area where I have a lot of Choices of Quilt shops carrying great quality fabrics. I do occasionally buy stuff not on sale if it calls my name. I will usually get a yard sometimes a yard and a half. If it is on sale, however, if it a color I like and I know will go with others in my stash, I will buy a yard min, many times 3 yards and if it is a great sale.....6 yards to the rest of the bolt. I have a bunch, about 4 large Rubbermaid totes as well as the upper left cabinet is all over 5 yards. Many pieces are 10 yards cause they were good quality fabrics that I got for $3 or under a yard.
If it's something that I don't like and I need for a project I will only buy what's needed or a fat quarter. Mostly I buy at least a 1/2 yard.

Nice room.
