ORGANIZED SEWING ROOM COMPLETE!!!!

 This area is now organized by color and all the fabric is Ruler Folded .....I think it looks Beeeuuutiful...........
 I have emptied over 7 totes and three of these totes hold nothing but blankets and batting for quilting...I admit that I still have one of these totes to go through.
 I realize that the angle of this picture makes it look messy, but it is a dream come true.  Each one of the containers contain specific sized fabric squares...seperated into lights and darks.
 This is a before shot....such a disaster.  Now my Metal bakers rack is totally free of fabrics and can be used for current projects  and quilting tools.
This is a shot of the closet, missing  many of the totes (stored in another area of the house).


I apologize for not being on my blog for so long.  But, I have devoted the last few months to nothing but getting my sewing room organized.  It has taken me many months and tons of hours.  So often I wanted to just stop and begin working on another project.  But, I refused to let myself. 

I admit that I still have one tote to go through and ruler fold the material and cut any odds and ends pieces of scraps.  But, I wanted to share my excitement after I got everything put where I wanted it to go.  I even broke my rule of no quilting of any kind last night and did a free motion quiltnig practice on one of the unfinished projects. 

Now,  I have to work really hard at keeping it organized!
