My Quilting Space & Deep Stash

I guess this is more of a confession posting. I have taken pictures of my quilting space and my deep stash.

When Mom finally admitted that she was not going to quilt any more (she is 88), I gained her stash. Also, her sister, my aunt, had passed away a few years ago and Mom also got that as well so I got, like, two stashes to add to my own, not-insignificant stash.

The method to my madness is to fold the fabric in half with selveges together, right-side showing. I iron the entire piece and then ruler-fold it with the fold to the left, and then in half again. I place it on my shelves with the fold showing.

Whenever I need a piece of fabric, all I need to do is unfold and slice the desired amount since it is already ironed and is immediately ready for use.

I am the out-of-sight, out-of-mind kind of quilter. I must see it to know I have it. (LOL)

So here comes the quilt space show.

Pictures taken in December 2019.
