2nd Update to Reorganizing my Sewing and Quilting Supplies
 
2 Attachment(s)
Well, I am still working. I really thought I would be finished by now. Ha Ha. I have decided I am a hoarder and didn't know how much I had until I started trying to get it all into one small room (9 1/2 x 9 1/2'). Below you will see two photos, top half of one wall, and bottom half of same wall. See that laundry cart that is in pieces? See that step stool? Yep, you're right. I fell off the stool onto the laundry cart that I was sorting scraps into as I was putting fabric on shelves. Not hurt, just a small cut on on one hand. As you can see I have quite a mess, all of this was in the closet of this room. HINT: before you start, empty the closet! I really have accomplished a lot, utility room is empty of fabrics, I have moved my clothes from one closet to another - after removing fabric. Have moved my daughters clothing from sewing room closet to her room. I'm getting closer. Maybe next week I can show you the finished product.

Looking good. So glad you were not hurt when you fell.

It's so scary when you fall. I'm glad that you are OK! The project is coming along fine!

You are definitely making progress. Glad you weren't seriously hurt when you fell. Sounds like something I would have done.

chips88 05-11-2013 09:59 AM

glad you didnt get hurt in your fall. great wall of fabrics you do have a lot. let me come and pick out a few color choices here. wow.. be careful in the future.

Can I come shopping at your house? Love all the fabric!... You are doing a great job! I am so thankful you were not seriously injured!.... Sometimes the little falls can do alot of damage. Stay SAFE and have fun and PLEASE keep us posted.

You are getting it together at last. Congrats!!!!!Glad that you did not break anything.. The organization is looking GREAT!!! Hugs

I can't imagine how wonderful it would be to have that much fabric! You have organized it beautifully. Isn't it amazing how much work all this takes. One thing always leads to another.

ShabbyTabby 05-11-2013 07:31 PM

And I thought I had a lot of fabric !!! LOL. I'm just jeajous. My DGD moved out into her own apartment and so now we have her room as her sewing room (I live with my daughter and her hubby). So far we have repainted, shampooed the carpet and moved all the sewing stuff in there but nothing is organized. Once we get it "liveable" I will post a picture. Oh and my DD found a used Kangaroo Kabinet and it's just like brand new. I am soooo excited. It's the big one the "Aussie". Can't wait to set the insert for my Viking so I can get to sewing again....

rebeljane 05-12-2013 04:40 AM

Looks great & I love your stash but please be more careful

solstice3 05-12-2013 05:22 AM

No matter how I organize, I tear things apart lookin for something

CherryPie 05-12-2013 05:31 AM

Lookin' good. So glad that you weren't seriously hurt....be thankful that the laundry cart is the only thing that got broken. Be sure to send us pictures of the finished organization. Thanks for keeping us updated!!!

pollyjvan9 05-12-2013 05:54 AM

Thanks everyone. I was lucky when I fell, will be more careful in future. As for the organization, yes, I have accomplished a lot so far, but have quite a ways to go. Just can't decide what to do with all the decorator fabrics I have. I really don't have room for it in my new room and my goal was to get everything in one area. Have to decide this week. But it is good to have all my quilting fabrics organized so that I can see what I have. I have a few kits that I have put together for myself and I intend to make more and then, hopefully, go shopping in my own home when I need a new project. I really enjoy seeing everyone elses organizational projects. Happy Quilting and happy Mother's Day. I am off to Red Lobster with all my kids and grandkids.

Lori S 05-12-2013 06:06 AM

Glad to hear you did not get hurt in your organization! Magnificant stash! I bet you just love looking at it ..all neat and tidy!

TinkerQuilts 05-12-2013 06:39 AM

Wow that's looking really good. I'm so glad your fall only resulted in a small cut, could have been so much worse.

Pam S 05-12-2013 08:34 AM

Wow, you've done a lot. What a great stash. Can't wait to see your final pics.

tessagin 05-12-2013 08:47 AM

Wow! Big stash! to say the least. Glad you're ok. Wish I had your stash. Hmm Let me take that back! We're looking to move. I'll increase after we move when we move.

mjhaess 05-12-2013 08:55 AM

WOW....Great job.....You have more fabric than a fabric store...LOL....

mimmy53055 05-12-2013 12:19 PM

I'm so glad you're ok! I did that once and split my hand open! Your fabric is beautiful and you're doing a great job! I have to show my family these pics...maybe they won't think I'm so addicted to fabric!

Auntie Em 05-12-2013 03:04 PM

Just love all those fabrics!!!!

Carol34446 05-12-2013 03:40 PM

Your doing a great job, but please be careful. Friends step mother was playing tennis Fri. fell and shattere her wrist, will never be right again from looks of it. Three years ago I fell and got a sprial fracture of right humorous, what a mess and I healed well too. I though I had a lot of material. Will have to show this to my husband, it will make him feel alittle better.

1screech 05-12-2013 06:40 PM

Your fabrics look so nice all color coded...the fall could have been worse...ask me how I know.

caspharm 05-12-2013 06:57 PM

Looks good, but be careful. Glad you weren't hurt.

wolph33 05-13-2013 06:10 AM

nice stash.be careful-I broke my wrist falling last winter .

Jingle 05-13-2013 07:35 AM

Lots of beautiful fabrics and colors.

flowerjoy 05-13-2013 07:50 AM

That looks good... you have quite a stash of pretty colors. Thanks for sharing... inspires me to "reorganize" also.

Momo 05-13-2013 08:39 AM

Oh to have that much fabric! What a treasure you have there. Happy sorting and organizing.

Sewbeeit2 05-13-2013 08:52 AM

You are Blessed......what joy tonhave those great cabinets....
keep up the great job.,
the quilt angels will be proud of you as they were watching over you!

leighway 05-13-2013 01:35 PM

I used to sell those ladders and all I can tell you is get rid of it! They're dangerous and fall to the side very very easily. Go to HD or Lowes and get a 4 step that is sturdier. That way, you won't have to pay for an MRI after falling from the small one.

jeanharville 05-13-2013 02:56 PM

Glad you weren't hurt. I can read the headlines now "woman lost in fabric avalanche" . Just kidding, of course.

Robinlee 05-14-2013 07:43 AM

Lookin' good, what did you use for the shelving?

sewbeadit 05-14-2013 01:23 PM

Nice job, wonderful seeing all that fabric stacked so neatly. So sorry about your fall, glad you aren't hurt seriously. Must show us pics when you are done. I like fabric hoarders, oh that could be a tv show of its own!lol

bepositive 05-18-2013 06:14 PM

Glad you're ok!!! I hope it wasn't your rotary cutting hand that you injured!! Your beautiful room looks like a fabric shop! :)

mighty 05-19-2013 05:46 AM

Wow, looking good!

craftynell 05-21-2013 10:40 AM

JBeamer 05-22-2013 03:32 AM

Mariposa 05-22-2013 06:18 PM
