Congrats on your sewing room addition! I followed the thread you mentioned to Alaska Sunshines storage method, and would like to add a word of caution for you, be aware that light coming into the room from a window has UV which can fade fabrics over time and it WILL! Also DO NOT USE the FLUORESCENT bulbs for anything that will shine on your fabric, again UV (the blue end of the lighting spectrum) will fade fabric, book backs, carpet, etc. I am a retired Interior Designer and for years had a store, I know first hand what daily exposure 9 to 5 from fluorescent bulbs will do and it isnt pretty. Also depending on the amount of open air ventilation you have, dust settling on the fabrics can cause a problem. By the way the same thing goes for closets in newer homes that have fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling for safety, they will fade your clothing, so be sure to swithch them OFF and only use when looking in the closet.
LOVE your new acquisition! :)

Very nice; but you had better get busy filling it up before I start bringing my stash over to your house. I was just rearranging my floor to ceiling closets and made enough space to put part of my overflow in. I really need to stop shopping. Time to get to sewing.

Awesome storage. Enjoy all that newly organized fabric. I find reorganizing really tweeks the creativity and colors I couldn't imagine together before actually look great together on the shelf and before you know it another quilt is in the works!
I'm new to the board and have to say I love you all and the wonderful sharing of ideas not just for quilts but for all things sewing, ie storage, threads, etc.
