I have so much fabric in my stash that my friends and family
have started referring to it as "Louise's Fabric Store".
I am in the process of teaching my oldest daughter (age 31)
how to sew and quilt. She called me up a couple weeks ago
and asked if her friend who is a quilter can come to "my fabric
store".
Yes it DOES overwhelm me at times especially when I KNOW
that I have a certain fabric, I remember buying it, but for the
lie of me I can't remember which bin I put it in.
Most of my fabric is sorted by color group (all reds in one bin
and so on). But when those bins got full I just started putting
ALL the fabric after I did my folding technique on it into a "general"
bin until I could either get more bins or got rid of some of the "older"
stash to make room for the newer stuff.
Right now I am have about 45-50 of the 58qt size bins full of fabric
to which 6 of those bins are nothing but scraps, my goal is to work
on organizing them by size, then get rid of them. Those bins don't
include all the smaller in size or the 1 bigger bin that has fleece in it.
Plus I have 2 58qt bins full of fq's only plus about 3-4 smaller bins of
fq's.
Yeah I have a fabric store all my own. LOL
