Wow, thanks for all of your input. I was sure that I would not be in the minority in wanting shelves. I just don't get it that DH thinks that the shelves are not as space saving as drawers. I guess it is time for me to draw the line and say, "Look, I love all the help that you gave to me but now I need to personalize it for my liking. It has to be shelves. If I run out of room, then I need to down size some more." haha I certainly can see good reason for some drawers, but also I WANT shelves!! He is one of those kinds of people that thinks that everything needs to be hidden away to be neat and orderly.
It was disappointing to me to find out that I have to wait until a long time and more posts before I can sell here. I have so many great books to get rid of. Well,I will just keep on posting! I love the interaction here on the board but it takes away my working time to read and post..when I am supposed to be working to reorganize and sort! When I finish filling my one cabinet, I will take a photo and see if I can get it posted on here. Quite some time ago I found some little plastic basket things that my patterns fit in perfectly. Love those little guys. Also in another part of this quilting forum I found the tutorial on using sign board for little bolts. Yayy, my son has a sign business. I am going to email him right now to see if he has any of that coroplast on hand. I love this board and ALL the help that is on here. My one regret is that there is no one else doing the Quilted Diamonds quilt to get me motivated again to get started back with it. quilted diamonds, anyone??
