Maybe you could be the first quilting hoarder on television. I will watch.

In your very first picture (2005) there is a sewing machine in a cabinet. I have a Singer 404 in one like that. What is your machine?

BTW I know where you're coming from -- I can't get rid of anything either. Thanks for sharing. And... someone spoke of calling the man from TV to come and help with the organization. I wouldn't want him within 10 miles of my room. First thing he'd do is try to get me to get rid of some of it. :wink:

the little machine in the corner is a tiny green singer!
the machine in the sewing table with my Elna on top is a vintage pfaff!

What a great room. It looks like that you have alot of projects to do. My floor looks like that some times.

Just had to ask, if you have any of this fabric and if so could you please sell me some. Crossing my fingers you might have some.

WOW....are you going to use all that? Would definately sell what you think you won't use.

Welcome to my world. I have spent most of the last week trying to finish a job I started last September. I separated my sewing room into a Longarm/embroidery room with only backings, threads, battings and those things associated with longarming and embroidery in one room.

I moved all fabrics except for fat qtrs to my "regular" sewing room. My fat quarters are in plastic pull out drawer cabinets under the longarm and I don't have room for them in my regular sewing room. My yardage fabrics are in three 4 ft. wide cabinets. It is all folded, organized by color in the cabinets. I am working on getting the fat quarters organized by color also. Today, I separated scraps I am using in "15 minutes of play" (google - or check out my blog with info on the scrap blocks I am working on currently -http://sewcrazyfl.blogspot.com/). I also put wider strips into another box for the spiderweb quilt I am in the process of PP. I also separated all larger scraps to be sewed into strips or cut into blocks. I feel like I have accomplished a lot but it was very slow going. Anyway, there is hope, just pick a spot and start.
