Folding like a fiend

I've gotten the itch to clean and organize this month.  Specifically, my sewing space.  I use shoe organizer cubbies to hold my fabric, and my stash has outgrown the two cubby units dedicated to it. (This is in addition to a bin of solids and a suitcase of multicolor fabric.)  So, I need a third unit.

My sewing studio is in the basement and it is too cold to spend hours folding and organizing fabric.  So, my husband graciously agreed to bring the cubbies upstairs.  I've been spending many late nights watching programs and folding fabric.

I love gazing at this:

But this is how I usually get by:

before

So...I know how I'll be spending the next few nights.

Here's hoping that your new year is off to an organized start.

  3. I love gazing at that pic too. I have almost zero desire to organize. So I'll live vicariously through you. :)

    I hope you get your pretties out in the open. They get lonely in the basement. :)

    I have been channeling you lately I think. I've been designing quilts in meetings in lieu of daydreaming.

  10. I had that same "itch" but my rainbow stacks don't look nearly as neat and cute as yours! :-) Doesn't you feel so much new inspiration when your fabric is tidied up?

  12. I'm obsessively organizing. Which will probably involve destashing as well...
