Hmmm. I'm wondering about that too :!: :lol:

Haha...well, I'm about 9 months "new" now. But I'm kind of obsessive/compulsive about being organized. Clutter just frazzles me. :D

Eddie, there is a flea market in Springhill, close to Greenbrier, that has a booth of brand spanking new quilt books; actually, all sorts of craft books. I have bought a lot of great quilting books there for 3.95 a piece. Including some I see sitting on your shelf. If you ever come to Faulkner County, I highly recommend you stop in there and see that particular booth. It's not far from the Quilt Store you mentioned in Pickles Gap; which, by the way, was great and she is a sweetie.

Wow Eddie, that looks awesome! You've got a lot of room! I'm in the process of re-doing mine. I've got the corragated boards for my fabric, it really helps keep things organized and you can see your fabric at a glance. they're much thinner and smaller than the fabric bolts from the stores. I can even put several fat quarters (same fabric group) on 1 of those boards. I am entertaining the idea of putting a counter top on top of file cabinets for my room....and I see that's what you've done! I know that Lowe's & Home Depot have their clearance area for counter tops that were refused by the customer for whatever reason, so I was going to seek out one of those. How is that working out for you?
I love your new space....now get quilting!
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

Wow Eddie, you work fast. Your huge room looks great. I really like your wall shelf..keeps everything out of your way but within easy reach. I'm like you and have to have things organized. Now you are set to get creative. Enjoy your new space.
