I have read that people have to shut doors to keep pets out; maybe it's time to lock the door against unwanted pilferers! Some people have no idea of what is theirs and someone else's. I say put a lock on the door and use it.

Thanks everyone, took long time but worth it, still have all the drawers to go through and fold cut up a few scraps and so on. No one goes in my sewing room, thank God my son is no longer with the girl. I also love scrap quilts and usually cut my squares 5;, 3 1/2",2 1/2", 2", and 1 1/2" but does get to my back, so gonna try and keep my scraps cut up as I do any quilts, so doesn't get out of hand again.

My goodness...where was your son when she was walking out the door with your stuff? I think I would have been the first customer at that yard sale, to see if I saw anything familiar!
Even with some of it missing, looks like you have plenty to play with for a long, long time!

Your room and fabric look amazing. It is a lot of work and hard on the back. I do not cut my scraps into squares. They are in tubs, "lights" & "darks". I need to further sort -- the tubs are getting full. And I need to make some scrapy quilts.

Thanks everyone, that's a great ideal Rob. I do like 10" squares as well.
I do if they’re smaller than 10” square. Otherwise I fold them up on cut down comic boards and stick them in one of my “smaller than a fat quarter” drawers arranged by color. I bought the Go dies in sizes that I normally cut and that has really helped me keep on top of my scraps.
