No, it's not mine, but I'm impressed!

Thanks, Shelley. I enjoyed learning from this; I thought she had lots of good tips! Thanks for sending it!

Just how big is that room?

Looks like a warehouse to me. :shock:

besides the pics of the first storage bins, there were many Art Bins ??brands of storage containers with handles...those are worth a fortune in and of themselves....at least $10 o $13 apiece....I know because I have a couple of them myself...just wish my stash was that easy to see....+

Now that is organized. Makes my stash look really sloppy and I thought I was pretty organized with cabinets and shelve which, unfortunately are overfilled.

Holey moley! I, too, have my studio in the unfinished part of out bassement, but it sure doesn't look like that! A few years ago my husband built some really nice shelves, complete with doors that close over them and roll-out shelves with tubs on them. At the time, we didn't really consider how we wanted to use them in different ways, but were just replacing some open ones that were in our house when we bought it - 47+ years ago! I have to share the shelves with holiday decorations, extra storage for kitchen items, pantry, cleaning supplies, etc., point being, I don't have nearly that much room. But then, I'll bet not many people do!

It is inspiring to see her stash, though. I think I can use dividers in the larger tubs we have and arrange the fabrics in an orderly way. Hmmm, something to think about!

Organized, yes...but does she ever have time to actually use any of it? LOL She does say she "collects"! Hee, hee.

On a serious note, I'm sure she does quilt!

I understand wanting to be organized and I have a system. But if mine was that elaborate, I'd be spending all my time organizing and have none left to sew.

I do admire her skill at this. I'm betting she'll get a new business out of helping people organize their stashes (collections/hoards).
