lol...that's what I keep thinking: I should do this too...but without pictures! When ppl are honest I am crushed, lol!
Debbie, this is such an interesting thread...keep going girl! after you rest of course! hey, it's like a movie...and I'll be sad when it's over.

ROFLMBO...trying to be helpful my cheese...

Wow, this is really coming along. VERY NICE. It does take so much time to find organization and to decide HOW to go about it. I have begun repurposing items for this reason. When I look at the storage container or shelf, I imagine what would work best.

FYI: The last time I organized, I found 4 pieces of the same fabric and all about 2 yards in length. Wow, I really loved that fabric. :mrgreen:

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.

What you do is to sell 15 boxes of fabric instead of individual pieces.....

You go girl. It will be so worth it when you are done.

Deb, I am so proud of you. You are making such great progress.......

Thank you. Be sure to see my new posts with the progress... YOu are all so inspiring.
Mousie - you can play in my room anytime. I don't think you could makemuch of a mess. I'll leave you some cheese out. *H*U*G*S*

Debbie, I know those five boxes are coming my way, right? I'm a very patient person and will gladly WAIT until you have ALL of your fabric organized to see what you want to send my way. You're such an amazing woman and I'm so glad that you posted the "BEFORE" pics and keep us all updated on the progress you're making. You're inspired MANY others to clean up their rooms too. You're going to have this done before you know it and then you'll be making some more wonderful quilts.
