I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I had that much fabric. I would be racking my brain trying to figure out something to do with all of it and not be wasteful. I feel much better about my own stash after seeing this one.

Dang, think of the fabric she could have bought with the money she used to buy all those containers.

I thought the same, but then thought she has to use all the containers since she's working in her basement ... humidity & spiders she mentioned ...

She also said that theres been water in the basement too. If I recall.

I'm sure it was time comsuming to get it organized, but after that it's a piece of cake as long as when she buys more she puts it in the appropriate container.

Now, if I could only find these containers for about $1.00 each??? LOL

Peggy

I have a bunch of plastic containers similar to those that I have gotten at walmart for $1.50 each.

Well I have to say,,,this is making me think twice about buying anymore fabric until I use up what I have,..this is a good reminder what buying, buying, buying can do...thankfully I only have a closet full...that are in bins. I was going to buy some more for a quilt I am making,..of course we are always looking for the perfect colors and prints but I think I will use what I have.

How does she find time to quilt? I've spent the last two weeks sorting my,trying to organize so that I can find what I'm looking for.
I will never get that organized..when I finish my sewing room make over I will try to show pictures...just don't expect it to be anywhere close to hers. It does feel good to "straighten" out things.

Now she needs Fabric Fondlers Annoumous! The saying "she with the most fabric wins...." I think she may be running a tight race there! U-B-E-I-L-E-V-A-B-L-E
