Started something that wasn't that easy!
 
3 Attachment(s)
I now have the closet cleaned out and only have quilting fabric stacked on the shelves. I thought I would share a couple of pictures. I do have a small amount of quilting fabric!
The closet is cleaned out. The other fabrics are in boxes and waiting to be resorted for distribution between several charities.
I still have some purging to do, but the worst is over!

How pretty is that! You will enjoy your fabrics so much more now that they are accessible. Good job.:thumbup:

Your closet looks like a quilt shop where you can buy fabrics!! You really have a great assortment - thanks for sharing your pretties.

You can be very proud of your accomplishment, but must be ever vigilant because you live in the same town as Marshall's Dry Goods! That would probably push me into the "hoarder" catagory:eek: Just kidding, of course!

WHOA!!! Awesome!!!!! LOL

Dolphyngyrl 05-05-2012 04:16 PM

And by small amount do you mean a whole shops worth LOL!!!!

sewgray 05-05-2012 04:21 PM

Maybe I can shop at your house. Sure wish mine was that neat.

Helen S 05-05-2012 04:29 PM

Great job! Looks like plenty of yardage per piece, too, so no worries about running out for any given project.

Nanaquilts44 05-05-2012 04:34 PM

Very nice job. I love that you have it so neat. I wish I had that much of some of my pieces too.

joyce888 05-05-2012 04:36 PM

One of these days I'll get organized too.

Twisted Quilter 05-05-2012 05:37 PM

Wow, and wow again! :shock:

sahm4605 05-05-2012 05:51 PM

how lucky you are to have such a large selection of beautiful fabrics. I would love to go threw many of the blue and purple fabrics.

LynnVT 05-05-2012 05:54 PM

Amazing. Thank you for sharing such enjoyable pictures.

patsynel 05-05-2012 05:58 PM

How I wish my fabric cabinet looked that neat!!!!!!!!!!!

kitsykeel 05-05-2012 06:55 PM

That is a stash to die for. Or is it "for which to die." Every color imaginable and so much of it. Is it okay to be envious?
And in such an orderly fashion. I showed hubby and said "you think I have a stash." He was amazed to say the least. Now I won't feel guilty when I buy more fabric. I can just say "Well, Collady had a whole lot more."

Collady... I would love to shop from your shelves...nicely sorted..now you will be able to quickly find that perfect piece of fabric..

Fantastic job - well done.

QuiltnNan 05-06-2012 03:23 AM

it surely IS a big job. you are now so organized, you will love it! i had to enlist my DGKs to help me sort into piles of colors. then the folding took forever!

Phannie1 05-06-2012 03:30 AM

Very Nice. Most of my fabrics are still in the bags I brought them home in. (I know where I get the fabric from that way. and they are group to cordinate too.)

EvelynJ 05-06-2012 06:32 AM

Wow, I love them all. I would love to go thru your charity bags to see what you are getting rid of; that's just wrong isn't it? I'm becoming a hoarder, I know I am; but I like it.

harrishs 05-06-2012 06:34 AM

so nicely done and soooo pretty!

collady 05-06-2012 11:23 AM

The fact the I have to deal with Marshall's Dry Goods is a problem! I try to limit myself to one trip per month!

Thanks to all for the nice comments! I still have a bit if work to do, but I need some sewing time first. Then I will finish.

How wonderful to be able to easily see what you have.

Suze9395 05-06-2012 05:10 PM

Wow. How pretty. I am working on mine too. I understand the enormity of the task.

I love Marshalls!!

stampinteresa 05-06-2012 05:16 PM

So nice and neat. Great job and love the variety of colors. Teresa

faykilgore 05-06-2012 05:23 PM

Wow! Can I come shop at your house? I don't think I have a closet that big. Great job at organizing!

cmputerdazed 05-06-2012 07:40 PM

that is awesome. It will be like visiting a quilt shop where they have moved their fabric and even though there is no new fabric you see things differently or in a new light.

paulettepoe 05-06-2012 07:49 PM

oh wow....wish i had the energy to do that. it is wonderful, congratulations on all your hard work.

Pickles 05-06-2012 07:57 PM

A small stash you say!!! I only wish I had that kind of stash, are even the give away bags would be a thrill to me.
Beautiful work on all the hard work . :thumbup:

earthwalker 05-06-2012 08:04 PM

Well done for getting organised (I need a good kick up the pants in this regard). Great stash....a veritable rainbow:) Thanks for sharing.

lpsewing 05-06-2012 08:07 PM

organization & a total personal quilt shop of your very own..........drool !!!!

barri1 05-07-2012 02:39 AM

Whoa.. I don't come close to the yardage you have.. and I'm getting claustrophobic..

coopah 05-07-2012 03:51 AM

WOW! Enjoy the colors. You have your own "store."

Ziva 05-07-2012 03:52 AM

Impressive...You should receive a blue ribbon for this.

Debbie C 05-07-2012 04:37 AM

What is Marshall's Dry Goods? I'm out on Long Island and our 'Marshalls' is a small department (mostly clothing) store which is a sister store toHome Goods and TJMaxx.

What an inspiration to resort, organized my "much smaller stash." Nice job; great selection of colors.

emlee51 05-07-2012 05:13 AM

sheria 05-07-2012 05:18 AM

janiesews 05-07-2012 06:05 AM

Looks great and so many pretty fabrics. You are an inspiration - now I guess I would have to get off the computer and actually move to start cleaning mine - right? :>)
