Quilting Organization

Good morning!

I've had some ladies ask if I'd share how I store my fabric so I took some pictures this morning.  It's not an elaborate system but it's working for now. 

The first picture is of how I store my Charm Packets and Fat Quarters....I bought the darling stand in Nell Hills several years ago (if you live in the Kansas area you're familiar with Nell Hill).

 

The next picture is all the fabric I own (this shelf was cheap & I found it at Wal-Mart).  See all the pink & white fabric?  I bought that on sale and I'm going to make a Rag Quilt Baby Blanket. (I'm tardy on sending a baby gift to my cousin and I hope it will be so darling that all will be forgiven.)

 

The next picture is of that whole wall that I've dedicated to sewing. (I cleaned it up before I took the picture, you and I both know that the top of that shelf is never clean!!) The basket on the left has all my Batting.  The basket on the right has instructions, a few Quilting magazines, extra needles, rotary cutter and all my thread (I keep the Thread stored in one of our clear Stamp boxes).  The little box on the shelf has all my miscellaneous fabric scraps.

The next picture is of the darling fabric that Joan sent me.....thank you Joan!!!!

 

This is the beautiful card she sent with the fabric.  That reminds me I bought the Trendy Trees stamp set but I don't think I've ever used it (I really like it so I'm not sure why I haven't inked it up).

 

The next picture is off the Rag Quilt Bag that started out being a bag for my Kindle....but it may turn out to be something else.  The fabric on the inside is called Minky and it's a tad harder to work with (it stretches) but it's so soft & beautiful! I made this bag also using the Big Shot with the Scallop Square Die.

 

Next picture is of my Kindle and the bag :)

 

And here it is inside it....I haven't added handles because I'm not sure if I want to hang it off my shoulder or just have short straps to carry it.

 

If you're unfamiliar with the Amazon Kindle.....google it or go to Amazon.  Next to buying my Mac computer it's one of the best things I've ever bought!!!  If you read a lot of books it's perfect!  My house has thousands of books (not sure it's really thousands but it's a lot) and the Kindle will store 1500 on it and it's as thin as a pencil.

Have a great Sunday & thanks for stopping by!!

You got that right, sister. Our Kindle (I use my husband's) is the coolest thing next to my MAC (he doesn't know how to use it!). And now I am going to make a Kindle Kozy with my flannel squares. I have been making baby quilts too, but never thought of a Kindle Kozy. Thanks again Angie!!

I just saw your bag and I think I will make one but use it as a cover for my sewing machine (turn it upside down and slip it over the machine). By the way, where did you find the Figgy Pudding material??

I bought it at our local quilt store Quilters Haven.

Thanks,

I'm just to old fashion for a Kindle. I love to look and feel of a book, the older it is the better. Cute bag!
