fabric storage

That is a nice room. I really like the color and the white laminate
makes for a clean look. That would be a really pleasant space.

I've got pics on my Webshots. The only thing I changed recently was
adding room-darkening roller shades to the front of the stash shelving
to prevent my fabric from fading. Oh, and more fabric (but that goes
without saying).

Yeah ... that was on fantastic quilting studio. Even
the collection of jars was beautiful. However, I too
wondered about the fact there was no other evidence of
quilting.

Did anyone see "The Living with Ed" show on HGTV, Monday night, where he
toured the Ultimate Green Home? That woman's quilting room was to die for.
All her fabric was stored in clear plastic drawers, folded and sorted to
look like rainbow gradations, solid from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. The
wall was angled so it got no direct light but her sewing/work table faced a
floor to ceiling window looking out on the court yard and pool. I wish there
was a picture of that somewhere to see it again. Talk about organized
stash!! She had a few dozen jars all with sorted buttons, shelves of thread
in rainbow array, every tool and gadget hung or displayed in a beautifully
artistic way. The room it's self was a piece of art.

The only thing I wondered about; No where in that room was a WIP or a quilt
or in the entire tour of the house did you see a quilt or any type of
quilting anything; not a lap quilt, bed quilt, table runner, pillow, wall
hanging, not even a pot holder......nuthin, no quilting did I see anywhere.
Maybe she was afraid to muss up the "professionally designed by the
architect", quilt studio.

I see that Pat has adopted my new mantra: "Must use the fabric I already
own." I seem to have also been bitten by the "need chocolate" bug. ( N.B.
I prefer my chocolate with a coffee chaser ).

Actually, my stash is a little out of control right now. I need to USE
more fabric, not acquire more! I do need the chocolate without the fabric
... I really have to reorganize the sewing room and I need the chocolate
for energy! Send the fabric to someone with a small stash.

I will stick with chocolate, since coffee and I don't get along at all
well. VBG

I SAW THAT! it had to be propaganda!! NO quilter i know will be THAT
neat!! it had to be a plot against us!!! LOL
and the bolt thingies? too much money for me! i'd rather do the foldy
thing around the ruler...saves space. and more money for fabric!
amy

Thanks. I like that your cutting table has the storage
area. I want to change out some of my stuff. When I go
to Joanne's next week, I will check it out. PAT

Rusty, love your corkboard idea! maybe I will do that in some of the
walls of my quilting room after the expansion I have planned. BTW, why
do you keep your rulers on the floor???

I couldn't afford enough of the organizers to make a dent in my
stash-- but I folded fabric around an 8-1/2x14" Fons and Porter ruler,
pulled the ruler out and stacked the fabric flat on shelves. Here's
some of the results:

Makes you wonder.
I got the book "Creating your Perfect Quilting Space, Sewing-room
makeovers for any space and any budget" by Lois L Hallock, for my
birthday from my buddies in the KKQs. The smallest makeover would do
me, however, there was one where a husband and wife couple both
quilted and had turned their double garage into a quilt studio to die
for. I started looking at our living room and DH started to get
worried.)) Elly
