this woman is amazing. Her quilts seem beautiful, too.

OMG! I would never get any sewing done! Would never be able to decide what to use...

Thank you for correcting the link. Still new at this. fmd36

Wow, she must have a gazillion dollars tied up in storage containers.

Now she is addicted to collecting fabric.

I think there is more money tied up in the containers than the stash!!

I would never be able to sort that way then my true obsession with buying fabric would show!

That is NOT a stash! That is a personal quilt shop!!! I am going to dream of a private quilt shop tonight now!! *ahhhhh....sigh*

Yes, I'll bet she does. I wouldn't be able to find the container I was looking for..

That's quite a stash. She's got more fabric than some stores I've been in.

Oh my!!!!! What is that saying " She who dies with the most fabric wins!" I think this lady wins!!!!!!!

Amazing. I saw the picture of her on the computer and I couldn't help but wonder if she had so many bins she had to keep a master file on the computer to be able find stuff.

My husband would have a conniption fit if I had that much stash. I'm afraid I would be overwhelmed too. I have a full pantry and I think that's enough for me. When it started getting too full, I just started buying smaller pieces. Quilted more and stayed out of the shops. That's cool but a little scary to me.

OK, I don't feel so bad any longer. Mine is contained in the closets along one room in a 11x11 room. I need to show this to DH - if he ever gets to ?? my hoard - I mean stash.

There was a discussion here earlier this week on those photos of her stash. What was surprising to me was the number of folks who were so critical of this woman.

Lots of not so nice comments like "she must never get any quilts done because she too busy organizing", "she must be obsessive-complusive", "I would feel guilty if I had that much fabric" and other comments about the plastic storage containers negatively impacting the enviroment. Which is kind of funny because lots of folks here use plastic storage containers.

Sad to read so many unwarranted negative comments from what is normally a very nice group of folks

I absolutely love her system. My fabric is all in large bins stacked in the closet of my sewing room. I hate having to lug them out and to the table to search thru them for what I need. Plus mine aren't even clear and it never fails that what I need is in the very bottom tote.

I know about librarians, is there a proper term for people that classify pieces of fabric the way she does.

WOWZA, yes, her stash is like a store!

WOW!

She wins hands down! What a wonderful site, I would never leave the basement.

Jaw dropping! And then towards the end there are all her numerous scrap bins by colour, then by shapes too. And notions and thread containers and all filed too. It's a warehouse - I could spend a holiday in there!

I read about this person yesterday and I love the organization even though it was a little more OCD than I could ever be. It would be nice to know exactly where something is though...

I agree, I wouldn't want to mess up my room. But I'm sure you do a lot with it, since you can find what you want. And looks like you have enough to do anything you want to.
This is great and must of taken a lot of hours to organize. Great job..

All I can say is WOW! I can't imagine having that much material at my disposal at any time of the day or night! I would never sleep! LOL I wish I had half of her organizational skills, well, I guess if you count "thinking about getting organized"....I would get too bogged down in..does this go in the hearts box, it has hearts but it's mostly pink so it could go in the pink box..and there would go my whole system..before I even got started!!! I do admire people who can do this! It also makes me want to go have something chocolate to soothe my inadequacies!

Wow! I want to have that one day...

actually, if you're an organized person - it doesn't take that much time. start-up would be the most time consuming. after that - you just add-on to what you have. i have my embroidery thread (i know - it's nothing like her stash) organized & in boxes by number. i put them in the computer and can sort them by number or color. it's really neat when you're looking for a specific color.

Oh my! I love it, wish mine looked that good. I have mine in big tubs right now, but I don't like it, so I may have to reconsider! It is easier to sew when I can find what I am looking for easily.

I agree :)
She did say she had water done there at one time, bet those containers are worth every penny:)
Bet it keeps it clean of spidees too:)

This lady can open up for business!! Wow. Would love to thumb through all that fabric.

Dang!!! I would spend more sorting than I would sewing!

I use little plastic boxes like she does and label them in a way that I know what is in each..but golly I only have about 15 boxes.

I want to be put in her will!! What great organization and space. Still working within my mess....no time to sort, too busy with so many other things. Do regret not taking the time when I am looking for somehting, lol.

Wow!! I'm speechless...I'd love to be let loose in that room for a couple of hours...or weeks.... LOL

Wouldn't you love to see that stash in person. She is very organized. My stast looks sick compared to hers.

I am utterly stunned.
