I've enjoyed reading everyone's successes and failures...why is putting fabric away such a chore when taking it out is so easy? I've been organizing throughout the year, but have a hard time purging...I did give some to my sister for her Project Linus quilts...I've also been trying to use from stash as I finish UFO's..I have several tops paired with backing and batting..now to get them quilted...like many, finishing an old project before starting another is a continuing goal. I have one area that I just don't seem to get at...maybe next week.

I have done quite well in my very small space. I must discipline myself to clean up after each completed quilt. And process the scraps into sizes I use or toss them.
Once you get it the way you like it---it is much easier to keep it up. I passed along some fabric I did not like.
I have too many of my own quilts and no relatives interested in them. I am mainly a charity quilter and let go of 2 of my own last year. Once they were gone---no regrets. I almost do not remember them.

Target is having a sale on the Sterlite storage bins. There's an extra $5 discount when you spend $25. The coupon code is STORAGE. They're available for pickup only.
These should help us start the new year on the right note!

Oh and I put a tape measure back in my pocket book when I got home!

I had a friend and my DGS help me organize my sewing room, then Christmas came and it needs to be organized all over again. I, too, have a donate, maybe and keep pile when I go through the fabric -- the challenge is not to think of uses for the donate pile before I donate.
I opened a lot of cardboard boxes from our move in 2014, putting some of the fabric in plastic totes and some in the sewing room. I also found some of my thread collection (and it was actually in a box labeled thread-LOL).
