Lightbulb My Personal Quilt Shoppe

Joanelizbay, I solved a lot of my fabric stash problems by putting up a couple of shelves in the closet, then I got empty fabric bolts for free from the local fabric store (Joanns). I cut the card board into 10" lengths (about 3 per bolt). I dragged fabric out of drawers and buckets and started putting it onto the mini bolts. Any fabric with nearly a yard got onto the bolts and onto the shelves.

I had fabric turn up that I didn't even know I had. Then I labeled my old fabric drawers by color, and folded the small fabrics and put them in the appropriate drawer.

Now it is soo cool. I open the closet and see my own mini Quilt Shoppe!

hugs, Jup
