I've been toying with the idea of taking all of you through my studio and gallery (my house). I've often wanted to respond to others pictures of their sewing rooms and stashes. From what I've seen, my stash is a bit different. I consider myself a scrapper. I buy remnants, half yards and fat quarters. Sometimes I even buy some yardage! but not often. And scraps, of course.
I've been quilting since the early seventies. I live by the rule that if I use it all up - then I won't have it anymore. In the first picture of this tour - you can see one of only a few "planned" quilts I've ever made. I believe that variety is the spice of life. There will be numerous installments to this post. If you like it - keep watching! As always, I appreciate your feedback. Cathy The dresser that holds a lot! [ATTACH=CONFIG]175007[/ATTACH] spring - green and yellow [ATTACH=CONFIG]175013[/ATTACH] Some solids and teals [ATTACH=CONFIG]175015[/ATTACH] And then Blue and Orange [ATTACH=CONFIG]175017[/ATTACH] Last set in this one- red and Neutral [ATTACH=CONFIG]175018[/ATTACH] |
I am jealous of anyone who is that organized lol :D
|
I have a lot of the same little pieces - I do a lot of applique and need small scraps for it. I could shop from you very nicely! LOL
|
Very organized! :)
|
Love the quilt and the organization!
|
Beautiful quilt ... very organized. Can't wait to see more.
|
OMG and WOW and about 50 other words i can't come up with because my mouth is hanging open.
Can I come to your house to come shopping? |
I LIKE it! My kind of stash.
|
I love the organization of your fabric's. Beautiful.
|
Nice stash.
|
Very nice! U can find what u need!
|
Certainly you can see my developing problem already. I do keep finding more drawers to fill - but the ones I have organized already spilleth over!
|
Wow. Nice organization !!
|
How nice to find what you are looking for and not rummaging through boxes.
|
How cool!! I love how you have it organized!!
I too love FQs :D I can't wait to see your other pictures! |
I am impressed, organisation, with character!....Love that quilt.
|
Beautiful Quilt, i'm ready for more pictures :thumbup:
|
You are my inspiration, now I better get working on my sewing room, all the tubs of material, closets, shelves and other places I can stuff my stash. I am so impressed with your quilt along with your lovely stash and organization.

:thumbup: Love the dresser for fabric storage. I buy fabric in much the same way as you do.....fat quarters, scraps and a little yardage.
|
Wow and wow again. I guess I have had the idea all this time that is against the rules to be so organized!! Sure wish my fabrics were so nice and neat as yours are! Wish I had the place to put them to make them so nice and neat.
|
Can I go shopping at your house? :D ..I saw a color that I have been looking for..the teal lol..Picked up two different teals at stores and not a one match what I need ..I love how you have everything like that..Its really nice..
|
That is very neat - I am getting there, but I keep getting sidetracked by life.
|
Great organization!!!!!!
Can't wait to see more!!!!! |
love the colors in that wall quilt. great organization.
|
nice, your very lucky
|
Thanks for posting - I'll keep watching for more ideas.
Those are really nice shallow drawers to hold those smaller amounts of fabric neatly folded. I have a dresser that has deeper drawers and I wonder how my yardage fabric would look folded in them. I'll have to experiment soon. |
Jealous, wish I could be that organized..great job :thumbup:
|
WOW everything is so nice and neatly packed in drawers. That looks great to me.
|
So far I am enjoying your tour and really love your organization. Maybe someday I'll....:-)
|
Good organizer! You should have so much fun!!
|
The quilt in the first photo is so awesome
|
Great quilt and love the dresser for organization.
|
You are SOOOO organized!!! I wish I could be like you. I make a mess. I can't help it...it just happens.
|
I make messes all the time! I get an inspiration and I pull enormous amounts of fabric out of the these nice neat drawers. And when I figure out what I really want to use - I put most of it away again. This method of storage was an absolute necessity 15 years ago when I left my husband and started on my refugee year. I needed to continue my passion in a portable way. Drawers work well.
