Thanks for all the encouragement to get this posted, I hope this is helpful and if you need any more help I am just a plane away. I am just itching to be somewhere warm. :lol:
Warmly,
alaskasunshine :-D :-D :-D
WOW is the only word I can think of - in 1st pic, thought you had a quilt store!!! Your quilt room/area is WONDERFUL. You are fortunate to have a DH that see the importance of quilting to you & is so good about helping you with it. I'm 77 & don't think I've used that much material in over 20 yrs of quilting. (I started late in life) Of course guess you need A LOT of quilts, living in Alaska ;-)

Now that it has been nearly a yr. since you posted this, I have a ??? I didn't see on here (I might have missed thou).

Has the lighting had any effect on fading the exposed material? I've had folded fabric in stacks on some shelves, that over time ended up being faded across the fold part. How do you prevent this with all the nice lighting your DH installed for you?

Thanks for sharing your great ideas - have a blessed day
Hello Granny,
Lighting is not finished. It is just too cold in the winter to go in our attic and when it is warmer I always want to hang out with him. I am a nut I guess. I recently did make a very pretty curtain for my fabric wall. That was funny :lol: I went to JoAnn's with coupons in hand and got 50%off a hot pink batik with sunflowers on it in yellow. Then I wanted to keep the fabric and fold it on my boards but I did what I was supposed to do and made the curtains and they are so pretty. I love how bright they are. I do need to make a few more little curtains for other places too.. I am in the process of wrapping more of my fabric that still needed to be done right. Just yesterday my husband cut me 5 more huge boards for lots more fabric. I haven't bought more just still have fabric to get done that were on other shelving you can not see in those pictures.

Thanks so much for stopping by :thumbup:
Take care Granny :-D
