I have a long one above my short cabinets in the cutting/fabric room which holds most of my rulers, bindings on TP rolls waiting to be attached. On the other side of this wall is my machine room and I have all my threads using the metal hooks. I have my threads arranged by type.......embroidery, quilting, regular and serger. My embroidery thread is arranged to match the thread chart so I can easily look at the chart and know where I can find that particular thread. I also labelled with the thread number so I can put it back where it belongs. Obviously I had too much time on my hands that day.

I LOVE my pegboard. I have only gotten one sheet down to my apt (rest are still in storage). I hang my stencils off them but so many other things such as patterns and quilting tools. Just like a husband hangs his toys in the garage, you can organize your quilting toys just like his!

Becky, had to laugh at the ceiling idea. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great idea. The reason I had to laugh is quilters are always looking for more space in their sewing rooms; the ceiling, the final frontier.

Then there's when we bend the space/time continuum & we can store stuff in the past. Hmmm? What year did I put that orange fabric in?
What the heck is this pile here???!? I was going to use that spot. Dang you, future quiltmouse!

I love all of these ideas! The pix are great too. Everything looks so organized. I think that the best thing about pegboards is that they use vertical space that would otherwise be wasted. There is a zero foot print. Plus, they add some visual interest to the walls too. Now my little brain is thinking of what I could do with pegboard?...hummmmm.....

I have a very small bedroom for my office/sewing room. My husband framed a piece of pegboard and hung it on the backside of the door leading to the hallway. I hang all my rulers there, and when the door is open flat against the wall, they don't show.
