Well, the fabric still has to be sorted into the correct piles. I still have three small shelves to put up, but slowly, I am getting there! I am beginning to wonder if it would have been better to cram three wooden shelves or wire shelves in the closet and be done with it!
Right now, everything is on a 24 hour hold (to see how well the shelves hold up under pressure)! If I can go to the sewing room tomorrow afternoon and it is all still hanging on the wall-then it is a go and will be finished!!!
I didn't know I had this much fabric! I still have about 40 yards coming in this week and probably should stop some time in the near future.....that's not easy to do....I am addicted to buying my fabrics....all my pretty lovelies....

Before-it all doesn't fit on here-there is plenty more all over the room!

During-this is the trial-most of the fabric is on here!

You have lots of pretty fabric and it's folded so nice.

I know just what you mean. Lots of fabric addicts here. I'd rather spend money on it than just about anything :D

Just keep an eye on the shelves I have these kind in my clothing closet and one day we heard a loud crash....the shelves and all our clothes plus eveything stored above , were in a heap on the floor...I didn't realize how much clothing weighs and the same goes for fabric....I hope it works out for you, you have a lovely stash, happy quilting

The same goes for me! We had just built a house(this kind of shelving was standard, urgggggg!!!) and my DH & I had gone grocery shopping. We came home and our shelving and ALL contents were on the floor. It took me several days to get the mess cleaned up and have the contractor's fix it(thank goodness it was still under warranty). NO problems to date. I hope you have the shelves anchored GOOD!!!!

i have a question....with your fabric out there like that, does it get dusty? Are you concerned about that? I'd love to put mine on some shelves like that but then I wondered about the fabric getting dusty from sitting.

You definitely have alot of fabric there and it is folded so neatly. I have probably about 5 yards of fabrc total so I don't have a stash yet, but one day I will have and I can't wait. I like to make quilts and I havent been doing it for long just a couple of years. I find it helps me relax. My husband is a disabled Veteran and has alot of health issues because of it. His hobbie consists of watching TV and playing some offline computer games. My hobbies are collecting salt and pepper shakers and souvineer spoons and sewing and we both love to go camping. I have even taken my sewing machine camping with us. Against my husbands wishes, but he goes to sleep like at 6:00pm because it is so relaxing and its still daylight then and I HAVE to have something to do but sit there and do nothing. :) I've done alot of hand sewing on quilts too while were camping. We don't go out in the woods though, we just go to State Parks where there is bathrooms AND electricity. We use a tent and we have cots and almost all the comforts of home. And this year we even bought a stove/oven for camping and can't wait to go camping and make Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast.
