Misty - Very nice stash, looks like a mini fabric store. I like how neatly your fabric is arranged and stored.
I too sort by color, dark on the bottom -light on top. I am currently cleaning and arranging my fabrics and storage area. I started last month before school was out, and since I do not work during the summer so I am finally trying to get it done, slowly but surely (retired teacher- back working as tutorial teacher thru school yr.). My major problem, I have too much other sewing stuff in the sewing area and I don't have a separate room to use just for sewing. I still have my patterns for regular sewing, my crocheting ufos and thread, elastic, buttons, bias tape, and boo coos more sewing stuff. I also have so may quilt books and patterns. During my teaching career, I used 3 ring binders with my curriculum pages I needed in plastic sleeves. I taught 1st grade for 21 yrs. So I have binders and sleeves left from then, so I have been putting all of my loose leaf patterns, quilting tips, etc into the plastic sleeves and binders, labeling my binders, which really helps out. Hopefully I will get all of this mess in some order before summer is over. Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed that I will. I have decided I am not going to quilt until I get this finished. That's killing me, I think every day, I need to start cutting for this or finish that, but have been doing pretty go, but have had so many interruptions, Dr.'s visits, funerals, errand running etc. that I can't seem to get it finished yet, but I will hopefully this week!!!!
