Below the clothes bar, are storage cubes containing fabric sorted by color. There are 2 shelves above the clothes bar. On the bottom shelf are specialty groups - Christmas, solids, 30's, etc. On the top shelf, there are labeled boxes for UFO's and other crafts - knitting, cross stitch, etc.

My quilt books and magazines are on open shelves in the living room.

I'm very hands on. When looking for a yellow, for example, I'll pull out the pile of yellows and search until I find something that will work.

This is the best system I've ever had.
