Want to feel better about the size of your stash?

I took today off to wait for our spa to be delivered, so I decided to put my free time to good use and reorganize my stash.

Here's what was lying on the floor in the Sewing Room:



Here's 3 or 4 tubs worth added to that mess & starting to sort:



I got the worst of it sorted here, but gave up on the rest. Not pictured are the two large tubs of PRR, the overflowing tub of sherpa, the tub of batik, the tub of white, the tub of Asian fabrics, and the couple bolts & rolls I have of fabric.



Oh, and I've got a pile of fabric to sell/give away, but I'll wait until the board is back to normal before listing it.

Wow, that's a lot of fabric! I do feel better about my stash now!
Oh, and in my stash I have the exact same fabric as the one Lydia Jo's shorts are made of in your picture. Picked it up at Goodwill for 50 cents. It looks really cute as shorts.

Wow, that's a lot of folding you have to do! It's so much more fun to roll around in it though. I want to see a close up of that quilt on your couch with the sewing machines on it. Did you make it?

I do feel better, if you have more fabric than is pictured there, b/c I think I have about the equivalent of what's shown in your last pic! I'm doing a FS very soon, too. Thanks for the pics!

Ahhh, I understand no why you don't consider my stash a stash at all.

I'll run down tomorrow night and fold and sort for you you can pay me in snacks and wine.

It must be a nice feeling to get it all sorted.

My stash is out of control. I really need to get it all organized like that.
