    Wow that really took some work to get this room like this but once it's done it is easy to manage a quilter's dream room wish I had one my crafts and fabric pieces all over my house in different piles or boxes .

    I’m 65 and all my life I had some bins of nice fabric , and bins of clothes I love, for “someday.” This is the year for me, and I made three quilt tops this winter. I love my old fabric which was made before GMO cotton was invented. I enjoy watching and learning from you.

    I love your scrappy ideas for making quilts. It is very soothing and takes the pressure of being perfect out of quilting. Have you ever considered bagging your scrap and selling scrap bundles / bags. A lot of new quilters are not blessed to have the scrappy treasure that you have. Thank you for all the wonderful videos. I am truly enjoying them. :)

      If you stitch short pieces of selvedge together to make strip units, you can cut out shapes from them for appliqué.

    Very pleasant sewing room you have! Thank you for sharing. I have a corner of the basement...but it's MY corner of the basement!
    I have gone as far as putting scraps on a three-tier trolley, sort of by color. Blues/purples, red/pink/orange, green/yellow. My "yardage" is kept on two bookshelves covered by a pretty sheet I found at the thrift store. I buy sheets, too. I have also been known to buy clothing and cannibalize it for pretty or interesting fabric.

    My sewing room sort of looks like this but I was able glean some new ideas and inspiration from yours. I sometimes spend a lot of time looking for particular fabrics instead of sewing. If i am more organised I should be able to spend more time sewing instead of searching so thank you Beth for the tips.

    I always keep at least one scrap quilt project near my machine to use as "leaders and enders" when I'm making another quilt project. I currently have three working, from Lori Holt's Sew Your Stash series. It wastes less thread and eventually, I will have these "accidental" quilt tops finished.

You organize about like I do probably not as tidy as Lori from Bee in my Bonnet. But we can put our hands on what we want and know where everything is. Thanks for sharing 😊🌻😊

    Thanks for the tour and the tips. it's funny you mention sorting scraps, I have been going through my pathetic little bundle lol which I love so much, and sorting into squares, strips etc and set aside the ones to cut. I also have been picking up cotton sheets😂👍 and unpicking old cloths, linen trousers, tweed and just getting organised, its amazing how this helps me to decide what is going to be quilt, cushions and like. Your wall hangings are beautiful, the sewing room is a dream 💖

    When I first started quilting I had one of those big tubs full of scraps. At one point I found some of those children's scissors that actually cut fabric. We had 3 grandaughters then so I would dump a pile on the living room floor & they would have at it - they loved it. Our first granddaughter was playing with them while I was quilting something - had my granny glasses on & this 2.5 yr old said: WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO QUILT LIKE GRANNY. I got rid of that tub and now I have a bag not much bigger than one of those brown grocery sacks. Every time that bag gets full I go through them, organize & get at them until that sack is empty.
