Thanks so much. I really love going into my quilt room and being able to look on my shelves and find what I am looking for. Saves so much time!

oh please post pictures of what you have done!!

We just bought 5 more sheets to cut to size. Then off I go to folding & wraping again. Geeze I wish I were done with this project. I hope to post pictures when I am finished!

I just posted The Great Sewing Room Renovation a few hours ago on both pictures and under the virtual section on sewing rooms. Both before (ugh!) and after pictures.

I have thought of putting my fabric on bolts also but on a very limited funds. I went to a class at my LQS and she told us they send all their cardboard bolt to the recycle center. She told us if we wanted any just ask we could have them for free. So you might ask your LQS for their leftovers.

As for the awesome painstaking job you did- Clapping and cheering!!!! And um can i go shopping at your house?? LOL and kissis to that DH,,,,, make sure u keep him awhile lol

The folding has begun. I got boards (Cut from a 4'x8' sheet.)yesterday, but they cost much more than yours. I will shop around next time. Surely there is a better price than that.

I folded all of my fabric like this and it is so neat now!! I then did my towels and they fit so good in the linen closet.I used my 61/2 x24 1/2 inch ruler though and then you just pull the ruler straight out and they are neatly folded .

This is really so easy and the shelving was from an office/bedrrom in our home. My husband pulled it out and reassembled it and fastened it to the wall. We have lots of earthquakes :shock:

I still have lots left to do. Anyone wanna come help me finish up this mess????
