I agree with barney...tell them to be quiet. Really...it's your business and hobby. Why do they even have an opinion about it? But then, I'd take care of the heavy lifting by myself so as not to irritate them.

You would probably put it in your dryer once it was made into a quilt, so I think it will stand the heat OK.
And don't be ashamed of how much you have. You are allowed to have a hobby that gives you pleasure. Remember, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy."

I agree with quilter68.. you will love it, as you will find fabric that you forgot you bought.. You might want to buy the sweater containers. They hold a lot, and are see thru. You also can buy boxes at Staples, Office Max, or Udell. You can buy them online. The ones we use for charts are not tremendous, and you can lift them. They are not expensive.

Dellareya, your "solution" brought back a funny memory for me. When I was young enough to be pregnant, which I was, I kept my fabric in my hot attic. One day I bought fabric and didn't want to trek up the steps that day in May. So... I put it in my suitcase packed for the hospital. You guessed it!! I went into labor that night and had to pull the fabric out in front of my husband, who thankfully, never said one word. Hope you all get a laugh from this too.

Linda, that is too funny!! Thanks all for the good suggestions and good humor. My husband is something else. He just said that he will get a hand-cart and he will just move my packed bookshelf (this is 5 feet across, wall mounted, 5 shelf fully loaded till the shelves are sagging unit). I said, thank you but I think I'll take care of the fabrics. He started to give me a hard time about how much I have and I just told him that enough is enough and I don't want to hear any more about it. I'm sure he'll still poke at me a few times here and there so it isn't completely over. I just have to make sure he doesn't realize the beds are packed underneath with fabric. That would make his brain explode!
I called the carpet store and our order has been delayed at the mill by about 2 weeks so I still have about 3 to 5 weeks to figure things out.

Our charity had lovey dolls in black garbage bags and the church was rewiring in the closet were we store them they got thrown away. All those hand made dolls
I've been "hiding" some of my stash in our luggage. I figure I'm safe until we use the luggage next year for a trip to England. All family members of quilters think we have too much fabric. They just don't get it. If you ever decide to put fabric in large black garbage bags be sure to mark the bag---NOT TRASH--, ya, ask me how I know to mark the bags NOW.

Luggage is a good storage space as mentioned. The trunk of your car will hold quite a bit also.
It is a good idea to stay away from black garbage bags. When I was a Project Linus coordinator, it was tempting to use those for blanket delivery. Instead I choose white bags and used a half page computer label to identify the agency and the contents. I was so afraid that someone would toss a black garbage bag.
Best wishes on the whole ordeal!
