You are inspiring me to do the same. My problem is everytime I need some color or themed fabric I demolish all the organizing I have previously done, just looking for it. lol. . . I just know that fabric is in there somewhere.

I work for stash !!!!

Wow Deb, you are really making progress!
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

oh girlfriend- I'm saying a prayer for you

Thank you all again. YOu are right about making a a mess while looking for a fabric. And for this reason, I intend to have all that fabric on boards soon and standing uo like a book so all I have to do is look. WIll eventually color code, etc, to make it better. One step at a time. I am filling up the hallway today and getting the middle of the room out of there so I can walk and start in the back. One more cup of java and tehn grab a coke and off I go.

Beautiful!

I'm impressed = good job

Its looking good Debbie - now - shall we all REFUSE to sell you anything on this board?????? hmmmmmmmmm

When I organized my fabric I had the same thought... no more buying fabric because I was totally sick of folding it. :)

Of course, now that it's all folded, it's not hard to keep up, eh? :)

Now, just wait until you cna't find what you are looking for!! I've tried to organize before. Then I can't find something. It all goes in the floor until I find it. But, it's looking good for now.

don't stop now, yer on a roll!

Keep up the good work. You will be so proud of yourself when its done. :thumbup:

Oh my goodness... I wish I had that much fabric! ... no, really, I do wish I had that much fabric.... people say be careful what you wish for, but, in this instance... I wish, I wish, I wish.... I love quilting! :)

Your almost there, the room looks great. I organized yesterday and it felt so so good. I have to bind a quilt and then I am going cut and sort scraps.

Keep on going. You are almost done. You are doing hard work and succeeding! Hooray.

I wish I knew how to get that Fleetwood Mac song to play for you on this thread (just pretend they're singing it to you)-

"Don't stop thinking about tomorrow; Don't stop, it'll soon be heeeere. It'll be here, better than before..."

Keep up the good work.

Wow, you have done a lot!!! Please do not over do it and make sure you take plenty of coke breaks - yeah the coke was the first thing I noticed, lol. So far it looks so much better then when I first came over... Kudos to you my friend. :)

Yesterday's gone...yesterdays goooooooooone. Love that song. I'm sitting here dancing to it. LOL. Thanks for popping in. I love my "mousie" you sent me, I see Jo every day and just smile. And the lollipop is long gone. :wink:

You are doing so well! I always run out of steam before it all gets cleaned up.

Things are looking fantastic! You are doing a beautiful job and oh how happy you will be when it is finished.

My room is a mess, I'm wrapping everything on boards and I'm beginning to think the fabric pixies are sneaking in during the night and unwrapping. It is going to be so terrific when I'm finished though.

Do you find yourself stopping and thinking about what you could do with the fabric? I start to fold and wrap, then think of a pattern that I remember so have to stop and look it up. Am hoping to be finished by the end of this week. Snow predicted for Friday, great day for stash organizing.

Hang in there!

Fantastic job! How liberating it must be.

You are doing a great job! Keep it up till friday and then quit to enjoy the trip. You will feel so much lighter without worrying about the mess that is left since you have done so much work already and will get more done in these last couple of days before the trip.

Walk away for day and get your 'groove' back. Also give your back a rest.

I have been watching your progress and I smile through all the postings. You have a "monumental" task at hand but you are conquering. Proud of you.

Will you come and help me - I'll gladly pay you in
stast :))

Keep going Deb, its' great. Love seeing how its' getting so organized and you'll love "shopping" at your own store!! Put the money you are saving for a retreat or quilt class you've been dying to take!! It will help keep you motivated

lookin good :thumbup:

You are doing a great job!! I'll be looking forward to the "finished" pics!!!

Listen!!! I hear the Rocky theme song! You go girl!

Keep it up Deb!! I havent been able to work on mine again - had to take care of some errands and appointments!! Maybe today lol cheryl ;)

you are doing a great job. a little at a time. looking forward to the finish. Have you thought about your reward for a job well done?

Another day, another wall done. Way to go.

Take a break and,
Have a candy bar on me!!! :wink:
:XD:

Almost time to sew.

your getting there, come do mine next. LOL

Oh yeah. I love candy. MOre sugar to push me. Thank you, I chose a 100,000 grand bar. Yummers.

as all I can say, I truely enjoy this every day and go girl go!!!!!!!!

Way to Go! I am inspired to keep moving on my future sewing room! I have stuff of my dd's to get out of there. They my dh and I are ripping carpet, painting and putting down laminate flooring! He has designed the room for me on his computer and is really helping me alot! I can't wait for my "Crapalot" to become my very own "Camelot"!

I am getting so inspired by all of you who are organizing their quilt areas. I have been saying I am going to do it for a couple of years. Only bought fabric to make the grands a memory quilt for my DH who passed last October. The quilts will also honor my son who passed in 2001,John Deere print.
I have 6 vintage sewing machines to give to a gal who has a small house for quilting. That way she can have machines and we do not have to haul our own machine there to do a group project. Now that feels good to free up that amount of space.

So, thank you everyone that has inspired me to start my downsizing.

You have inspired me to get busy -- I spent the day organizing quilt magazines into clear totes.
