    Glad I do not have a large stash.

    You are brave to post and share your room. It helps all of us! I personally told myself, NO MORE FABRIC until I get the projects done I have planned.

    this solarium is actually very small... we have been here for 16 years... I have sewn garments for that long for my kids (they are now 11-25 years old). This room has been a playroom for kids, then my graphic design studio, now my sewing lair. Of course it got so bad the sewing machine is now on a table in the livingroom just so I can work on projects.

    The solarium is only 9x8 so I have to utilize all the space very wisely. When I am done, I am hoping to have accomplished three goals:
    All fabrics organized and routed thru;
    all WIP / UFO's found and decide what to keep/eliminate; and
    room for 2 machines to be setup, one for piecing, one for embroidery... with ample space to swap machines for serger when I need to do clothing.

    I will still have to have the big table setup in the livingroom when I am doing final quilting, tho, this room is too small to work on a big quilt!

    Seriously? 2000 yards of fabric? I might have 20. My sewing room is so boring compared to this.

    Wow. I'm almost embarrassed to call myself a quilter. I only have about 3 shelves full of fabric. And 3 drawers and a box or two--all kinds of fabric. The rest of my 9x10 room is computers and machines. Oh yes, and a couple shelves of books and music from when my passion was playing the dulcimer.
