Organize? What's that?

They are organized by pile right now. Cross stitch here and quilting here and crochet there. I am planning to buy some book cases with my tax refund this year. Once I get my bookshelves, I plan to organize by subject and then by author.

Mine are in a cabinet layed flat, no organization at all.

I use my soappowder boxes. I put a years sub. in each box, mark it and put them on bookshelves Peewee from Pa.

You mean we're supposed to organize them?? :shock:

Mine too. It's the simplest way, IMO.
Baby and kids quilts are also separated as well as "Little Quilts" and "String Quilts." "Art Quilts" is a separate category too. I have them on an old library book truck and I put a large piece of cardboard between catagories with the name of the category on the top of the cardboard. That way I can find the books that I need instantly. It works well for me.

do you have them cataloged with Dewey? :D
just had to ask... sorry

I'm a retired librarian too. And I organize them by title just as you do. I found that organizing them by author wasn't really practical, so out went authors and in came "title only." Works better that way.

Yes, I have them in file cabinets by authors that way I can see when I buy duplicates, so much easier that way

Mine are stacked according to diff types. Such as a stack of Miniature Quilts,in order of issue.Same with other mags,in order of issue. I keep new mags/books I haven't looked at separate.My sewing books take up a shelf.I intend to sell any unused books.
