I'm currently working on another sample for an upcoming class, which gives me a chance to clear out some of my stash - and I have lots of stash to clear out!
Do you ever wonder if you have too much fabric in your studio? Of course, "too much" is such a relative term, don't you agree? Well, finally, there's a reward for having stash-itis. AccuQuilt is having a "Bust Your Stash" photo challenge and here's all the information you need to enter it.
Bust My Stash Photo Challenge

Share with your friends during the voting period to increase your odds of winning!
In case you're wondering what my stash looks like, well, here are some pictures of it.
 |
| Fat quarters in drawer unit; kits and fabrics with patterns in boxes - all stored in my sauna. No, I don't quilt in the sauna - yet! |
 |
| Novelties and 30's prints - I've cleaned this up since this photo was taken. Well, a little bit anyway. |
 |
| Fabrics stored by colour - sort of - under my cutting table. |
Okay, so it doesn't look very tidy and I do intend to straighten it up - someday. Right now I'm more focussed on actually quilting and preparing some new patterns.
Hopefully this doesn't overwhelm you. I also have batiks stored in a large container, as well as charm packs and jelly rolls which are also packed away elsewhere. It would be nice if all my fabric was in one area, but that's not possible in my quilt studio, so it will stay like this for now. The main thing is that I know where all my fabric is and it's sorted according to my own particular system so I can find whatever fabric I need quickly. Now, where did I put that polka dot fabric...
Hoping to see your fabric stash on the AccuQuilt challenge. Good luck!
