Lilrain. I would give anything to be in Washington right now. I am so hot form cleaning. ButI am done for the day. I sat down to check on here and don't think I will get up any time soon. LOL. But it's coming along. In the picture witht he left looking messy./....well that shelf is clean too. I have so much more fabric to fold and need more shelves which are on the other side of the room behind the door. SO will fold them and find a spot for now. 15 items a week will not get rid of all this. I am so stuck with the fabrics. But I filled up 5 more boxes to get rid of - scraps and pieces I won't use.

Sadiemae - Don't be jealous, you have to finda spot for them. I buy cones of variegated thread because they each have 3000 yds and I hate to change threads. LOL. ONly when I do a project that needs solids.

Well, this is it for the day. I am taking a shower nad resting. Of course, I may get my second wind around 11pm or so. I'm a night owl.

The FQ's are folded just like I bought them. NO boards. The boards are on the smaller 1-2 yrd pieces. Fq's just sit all alone. I don't think there's that many boards in the store to do fq's. LOL
And when I run out of boards, I will fold and stack. It's just after a whiel the stack starts to lean like the Tower of Pisa. So the boards help them lay flat.

Check out JoAnn's. One gal gave me enough of their empty boards to fill the back seat of the car! My son took them to work and cut them in half for me. They're the perfect size.

I bought a can of popcorn (now empty) didn't know what to do with the can, now I do. Thanks for the idea of using it for bias tape and the like.

Super job Debbie!!! You are doing great!!! I'm not as brave as you to post any pics of my 'mess' ..er I mean 'stash'... I was looking for something in a huge pile and found 6 charm packs that I bought 4 yrs ago and had forgotten about!!!!
You are inspiring me to dig in and clean up! :)
