I think it was at the end of January of this year that I decided to rearrange the fabric in my stash. That didn't work so well. I'd had fabric strewn about the floor of my studio since then. But YESTERDAY, after I ironed all the fabric I had bought over the last couple of months, I put it all away. YAY me!
This picture shows how messy my stash was back in January. The boxes on the floor in front of the bookcases are where I store my class prep stuff. Those got in the way,
So I moved them to the shelf that runs across the top of my studio.
Not ALL the fabric is in the bookcase. In the bin on the left is the fabric I have set aside for the "Oh So Modern" quilt and the one right next to it is all my yellows for the yellow zebra quilt I'll be making after I finish the Not Paper Pieced quilt. Moving on to the right are my class materials for the Barn class that needs to be organized. The bin at the far right contains all the fabric scraps I've gathered from the floor and the work tables. I'll have to sort through those next.
So this is what the studio looks like now, and I am really happy. When the studio gets too messy I can't think, and it's hard to work.
In spite of the mess I have managed to add the binding to the
Parade of Zebras quilt, finished The Spring of Teal quilt and prepared the backing for it; and prepared the backing for
the Whirlygig quilt. I hope to add the binding to the Magic Carpet (Diamond Colors) quilt. Or is it Geode?

The fabric always looks good on the shelves, not so much on the floor. Just picked up a bunch off of mine. A clean studio is my happy place. Hard to keep it that way and work at the same time.
Wow, Lynne, what a beautiful space you have for your work. My issue is keeping everything tucked away back in its spot...I just can't seem to stick to it.
Meanwhile loving those birds of yours.
Is the Diamond Colors quilt the one we started calling Geode? Your studio looks great! Congratulations on a job well done.
I remembered I decided to call it Magic Carpet. Geode works too. We'll see which name the quilt wants when I finish it.
You have a really nice big, creative yet organized studio - with all that beautiful green outside too. I am currently "between" sewing rooms - missing my NH space... looking forward to setting up my next space in Tokyo.
