Last weekend, I decided that my sewing space was getting pretty messy.  I decided that the best thing to do was to do a little work and organize all of my fabrics again.  I’d done a pretty good keeping my fabrics organized by type and color, but when I used fabric, I was just shoving it back in the drawer.  It was making everything wrinkly and hard to find.

So, I ripped everything out of the drawers and ironed the worst offenders before putting them back.

I can see what I have now, but it also made me realize just how much fabric I really had. A LOT.  I have 3 drawers filled with nothing but quilting cottons.  They are almost all fat quarters, so I should be good for quilting fabrics unless I need yardage for backgrounds.

Of course, if you have any yardage you would like to donate (for background fabric) so I can minimize the rest of me stash I’ll be happy to take it.

I’ll also take any time anyone wants to donate to quilt my finished tops.  I have 2 tops with back ready for quilting, and a top that I will be making a back for shortly.  Alternately, who do you use for your quilting?  My local long-arm quilters are booked out at least a year in advance.  They do fabulous work, but when you work as quickly as I do, it’s impossible to know you need something quilted a year in advance.
