I've been sewing for nearly 60 years, and a dedicated quilter for about 15 years. I find that my "room", be it in the dining room, living room, or a dedicated sewing room, is constantly evolving. I have graduated from keeping my stash in cardboard boxes, to keeping it in a dresser (the best for me). I also have quite a few plastic containers that keep getting rearranged. Some days I just need to change things. Some days I just need to fondle fabric, so I fold and reorganize. It's all part of the joy of fabric. You do what you can each day, and grow with the art. Just be happy in whatever space is yours, and don't diminish the joy by buying too much to soon.
