When I moved the first time in 20 plus years (two years ago) I did the same thing...donated tubs of fabric to church sewers for charity quilts, school classrooms for children's craft projects, etc. But there was so much I couldn't let go of! I did a short organizing video on my YouTube channel if you're interested. More to come this week, in fact. Thanks for posting!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7WoFJJzQpY<br />Beth Maitlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224726075518491512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975970082067568327.post-87267443417918922502013-11-16T11:19:47.455-08:002013-11-16T11:19:47.455-08:00A few years ago I slipped on black ice and broke m...A few years ago I slipped on black ice and broke my ankle resulting in being homebound while it healed. After a few months I was able to hobble around the house and I was motivated to reorganize my sewing/quilting/embroidery studio. I have a large room, about 15' x 25', and I began pulling everything out of the room so I could start with a clean slate. I had so much fabric! At the time I stored my fabric in large plastic tubs (50 gallon?) and after I moved the tubs out of my room and into my kitchen, I had a row of seven or eight, three to four high in the middle of the kitchen. I had another row seven or eight, multiple sizes, four or five high along some cabinets in my kitchen. Overload! My poor husband couldn't get to his coffeemaker or the refrigerator because of all the tubs of fabric. I donated a lot of fabric to my mother-in-law who loves to sew and quilt but can't otherwise afford good quality fabric. In the end, I was very happy with my newly organized space and during the process, I found a lot of fabrics and tools I had forgotten I had. Who doesn't love new toys? Have fun unpacking. I'd love to see pictures or your new space.Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365392212281698499noreply@blogger.com
