Update on my stash from Iowa.
 

I finally got through all the fabric. There was over 3600 yards + 35 sheets.

Wow!! You could open a store!!

Oh My!! How long have you been collecting? Do you make quilts?

I think she just got a bunch of this from one person.

Amazing! :thumbup:

I went to Iowa and bought from a person on this board. She is a wonderful person and the fabric is great, I have had a really good time going through it.

WOW and I thought I had a stash... that incredible... bet you had LOTS and LOTS of fun.

You are one lucky lady. I'd be having the time of my life!!

I didn't have as much to organize, and I was going crazy doing it. Yours looks so pretty.

holy molly that a lot of fabric I bet you did have fun....I never find anything like fabric and sewing stuff in my area I live in lehigh valley pa have fun with it...........mandy

You have everything so neatly organized :) so easy to find things.

Wow! That's a whopper load of fabrics!! Your storage system is really nice. Happy sewing!

You win!!!! You have the biggest stash

wishing apon a star i have that luck in finding all that fabric.. maybe someday...:)

Like my husband tells me 'You won't live long enough to use up all this'. He's only joking.
My take on this is..... Jesus will come before I use it all up. lol

Wow and a fortune in tubs to organize it all. What a tremendous effort, now get quilting!!! (he he)

Well we're all envious! And what fun you must have had organizing it. Can't wait to see all the wonderful things you'll produce.

That's not a stash, that's an entire quilt store! What I want to know is how big was your own stash before you hit this mother lode of all fabrics?

Wow!! I cannot imagine sorting thru that stash!! Must have been a ball!!

You call this a stash, no this is a fabric store. Enjoy creating, sewing, quilting and whatever it is you do with your fabric while I sit here and drool over this wonderful stash. I am going to since this to my dad.

Good googa mooga, that's a lotta fabric!

I'm another gal from Iowa--but I surely don't have that much!!!! Looks like lots of fun, and I love your organization.

Just color me green , o my have you got a stash now!!!
Happy stitching.:thumbup:

That should keep you busy and out of the stores for awhile!! Have fun!!

You totally win !!!

Wowser! I couldn't sue up that much fabric in three lifetimes. Just think of the scrappies you'll be able to make!

I am originally from Bethlehem, PA and really miss the area. Now I live in AZ....this horrible desert, but know at
this time we couldn't possibly afford to move back there. Where in the lehigh valley do you live?

I didn't find it in my area either. Hubby and I took the truck and cargo trailer and drove 7 hours one way to pick it up.

I had about a closet full. None of my original stash is in the boxes I posted a picture of.

Good job organizing! You're welcome to come help me anytime!:thumbup:

So sorry zig56gie you feel that way. I lived in Phoenix for over 10 years in two different periods, and although I've been gone from there for over 45 years, I still love it, and I do love the weather, too. I first moved there in 1952.

I love your idea of storing them this way, I may need to re-valuate my storage use. I am using totes, but they are the 13 gal, and colored so yo can't see in them, but I do have them marked "quilting" or "fabric".

You'll be able to make tons of quilts with that stash!!

what a haul! now that the fabric is organized, quilt-making could be easier! enjoy!

A phone call like that in my household would certainly dissolve a marriage if I would have said 'yes', as I already have many a tote filled with fabric. I don't drive and he certainly wouldn't have driven across town to pick it up, let alone a 7hr one way trip. I salute you for an understanding hubby. I sorted only through my last few years purchases and my DH was in disbelief, although he saw them 'stacked' in the spare bedroom and didn't realize how much it really was after sorting. I admit to being a Fabriholic, but it's bought and paid for. Congrats on your inheritance.

You lucky girl!!!

oh what i would/could do with some of that. if you are so inclined to share the wealth keep me in mind. lol good for you i am sure you will put it to good use.

wow huge stash and organized too.have fun using it.

That is a great stash. Lucky you. Now get quilting and send us some pictures!

I got my computer wet drooling on it!! (LOL) What will your first project be??
