Yep, maybe I'm crazy like a fox!

Me too! hope I live to sew all my material.

I know it's hard to look at anything BUT the fabric, but did anyone notice the absolutely stunning vine-edging on the shelving in the top photo?

Fixfido, you live in Michigan, which from my initial non-scientific analysis contains the largest number of quiltingboard.com users. If you really are considering having a yard sale, and you had any interest in meeting f2f some of your quiltingboard.com community, you might consider organizing a f2f "swap". Seriously.

And if that's not comfortable for you, and you really do want to thin your collection, I'm sure a number of us would be interested in purchasing some of it if you're willing to ship it out. Do please consider the classified board here.

Wow! It 's like going to a st ore. Love all the beautiful fabric.

Loved the way you organized. You should see mine. On second thought, probably not.

What a stash!!! drool!!!!!

yup...you do...but what a colorful "problem"

Thanks for the input, Jillaine. I'll be listing things weekly for a while....starting tomorrow, I hope.

I can be very understand about all that fabric. I have the same problem. I have been collecting for years and I just can't pass up a bargain and I always need more. The old saying comes to mind. The one who dies with the most fabric wins. haha.
Have a Blessed day and the room looks great

(I would have sent this via PM, but PM doesn't support file attachments... and I don't know if fixfido reads the classifieds/trades board; besides, perhaps others have this as well?)

Fixfido,

I couldn't help but notice in your stash a fabric I'm seeking!! (Who else did?)

I'm trying to finish a UFO; the top is finished (I think; I may add a border or two); I'm seeking backing; I recently purchased something from fabric.com but it's too thin for a backing and the colors aren't quite right.

I've attached a snapshot of one of your shelves, highlighting the fabric I noticed that looks like one of the rose prints I'm using. I also attach a shot of the floral fabrics I'm using (see far left; is that the same as what you have?) and the quilt I'm trying to finish.

Some here will recognize it as the "lone star gone wrong" that has been discussed elsewhere.

I am considering a pieced back (but not yet sure what I want to do). This is a gift that was supposed to have been given years ago. I started it 3-4 years ago; I set it aside when I realized I had a problem; gal288 helped me fix it.

Anyway, what do you think? Can I help you thin your collection and you help me finish this "lone-star gone wrong and gone-on-too-long" quilt?

I love the way you organized your stash.
It's like being in a candy store! :thumbup:

I'm so sorry, Jillaine, but I do not have the fabric you pictured though it does look like it from a distance. Wish I could have helped!

OMG I want all your fabric. How long have you been collecting. And it so organized. love it.

OK what days are you open?

Thanks for checking!

Where did you find those cuite baskets.

Wow! what a great stash,

I'm not sure I'd call that a problem - I'd call it lucky to have and to be so organized is wonderful.

But it looks so pretty!!!

Ohhhhhhh....pretty! Looks like you did a great job organizing. Now its time to get busy and mess that stuff up!

Hmmm, let me give you my address... :lol:

Aren't they great? They were $1 each at Dollar Tree.

What a stash. You have used your space well.

You have a beautiful stash!!

:thumbup: ok I'm on my way from Lapeer to go shopping

Your stash is incredible! I love your little color coordinated baskets. Adorable.

I like the basket idea also and where did you purchase them. I think they may work for me. As soon as I have some me time, I am going to be listing fabric and books.

OMG I want your stach. Where did you get those cute baskets. I so desparally need to get orgaized.

I will have to show your pic to my husband. He thought I was bad when I started organizing my closet and would up 247 different fabrics. I like the idea of the baskets for the scraps.

Well, tell him that I cut over 400 pieces of foam board and only wrapped a fraction of what I have. Then he'll see that it actually could be worse!

I am so envious of your organization and stash.........lovely.
