I had to go through my stash in search of some particular items. In order to find things to sell, you go thru shelves, empty tubs, etc. This is the result. ....You will be scared. LOL
Soooooooooooooooo gotta put it all back together, fabric on shelves, projects in boxes, quilt tops and quilts on shelves, fq's back in the boxes, etc. All this...and now it has to go back.
Do I have a huge stash? I think so. Just ask Grannyp70 and Joanieu who have dared to venture to look. So as embarassing as it is. I will show after pictures...as to when....who knows.
Wish me luck! :lol:

I spent 3 weeks sorting a room just like yours. Still full, but more organized

My first thought was 'we need to schedule an intervention'! Too much fabric... Debbie needs to go on a fabric diet and soon.
Seriously, we love you and your fabulous sense of humor (for those that don't know, Debbie donates to Project Linus so she has a reason for being less organized). Shes in trouble if the slot machines ever start paying off in fabric though - LOL. Lisa

AMEN to that!! But I must confess to a former post about 15 or 20 minutes at a time.... When I do that I make a good start, then I get "involved" with something I come across in the sorting and then there I go -- off to another project and the cleaning is left to the wayside. It seems my sorting balloons and I end up making a bigger mess than I had before.

I must say, I don't have quite as much as you do, but I am getting better at organizing.

this is the post I was referring to when I made my comments. I do agree with Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
I'm having difficulty with my computer skills this morning. Please forgive the awkwardness above.

Deb, I sure wish I lived closer, I'd come over for the day and either make a bigger mess or help you out, but we'd have some fun. I sure miss your sales.
