There is no time to clean right now. LOL!

Generally, the room is straightened at end of each day.

We're not allowing any excuses hahahaha

I think it was the same tornado that hit my room! I had it pretty clean, then got several orders for vintage sheet FQ's. Had to dig to get the right ones and now need to put it all away.

Opened an upstairs closet to put something away and discovered two large tubs of quilting fabric I had totally forgotten about. Oh boy. Mostly large pieces for backs.

Yesterday, I just finished putting my stash on those comic boards. It took a while, but I like the results. Now to work on the rest of my room.

WOW -- D.Hensen your stash looks great. I love the way it gives you access to your fabric. I had a bunch of my fabrics on comic book boards and discovered the way my dad built the shelves (over 50 years ago and they are one of the only things I have that he made) I can't get the boards and stand them up so I have been ruler folding them again.

You’ve done a fabulous job! We recently moved with no attic to store crates of fabric in the new house. It felt surprisingly wonderful to purge tons of fabric that I no longer have to store, and now will be actually used. I still have a stash, but I will actually use the fabric now!

can you fit in ten minutes a day, put something away.
