Dear Happy Lady:
I keep my stash in two 5-shelf bookcases by color, kid prints & Christmas prints. On the bottom shelves I have my 3-ring binders with my patterns & books. I also keep all my small pieces of fabric in 2 bins on top of the bookcases separated by color in plastic bags within the bins. I try to keep things organized in order to find things faster. As they say "Organized people are just too lazy to get up & look for it". Good luck in organizing your stash.
