How did we spend it?
A very romantic trip to IKEA of course!!
New shelving for my sewing room to try and get my ever growing stash under control!!
I knew I would never be able to maintain a beautifully stacked display of fabrics like these fabulous stacks ....
1. my fabric stash, 2. To-Do, 3. My CLEAN stash ;), 4. A cabinet of fabric..., 5. My little sewing room and stash, 6. Repurposed, 7. Folded and Color Coded, 8. Folded, 9. organized fabric
So, I bought a heap of drawers / boxes to fit the shelves and filled them with colour coded fabrics.
Here is the inside of my 2 favourite drawers:
And of course, some new fabric to add to the mix:
Dream On layer cake purchased at Over The Rainbow
Echino Spring 2010 fat quarter stack also purchased at Fabric Worm
I think I need to take a break from fabric shopping for a while. Wonder how long that will last??
Andi :-)
PS Dan and I did also manage a romantic dinner in town ... just in case you were worried!!

You can't be serious? We did anniversary Ikea this year as well. Tres romance. Tres excellent fabric organisation though...
so jealous! i have just been looking at my identical shelves, wondering why they dont look like yours!!!
I am going to host an intervention!
wow Andi - I love your stash! I have the same shelves - I think they were designed for people like us.
Glad you made it to dinner too! It looks great!
Happy anniversary, wow, a year goes quick! Love the shelves, I have them in the lounge room, havn't unpacked many books yet, might have to sneak out some fabric! what am I talking about, sneak, I'll go move some now....
(PS) I got mine from the discount section, and a smaller one a while later, so lucky!)
Wonderful stashing! I just love seeing other quilter's stash.
Love the Ikea store unit - I have one just like it in black.

Happy Anniversary! Love your stash and shelves. You've inspired me to get more organized with my stuff.
Happy anniversary. Stash is so good and yours looks lovely.
lol-we did a new years day celebration at ikea once :)
i have some shelves like these too.they're great. i like your drawer idea -mine are in plastic boxes and i usually never get the lids back on and it all looks messy again...
Ahhh - all those colors look delightful! Love the drawer idea...I'm not a good shelf person either : ) Happy Anniversary!
IKEA!? I love IKEA. I need to learn how to sew, knit, all of the above. Will ask my grandmother.
Ikea really is a great place, so many things you can get and create your own designs.
Looks great. I have one of those in my quilting room but have done anything with it yet. We are trying to do some renos to it first. You have given me some ideas. Nice to be organised
I was at Cabbage Quilts and I saw IKEA...I just had to come visit! I'm madly in love with IKEA! I have those shelves, and some PAX...actually, my entire house (minus 2 things) is from there. Yes, I'm obsessed! Bet you had fun organizing! Happy Anniversary!
I agree it is great to get organized and braving Ikea is worth it. I even enjoy the Ikea studio smells. All new!
You have got some amazing stashes of fabric there.
Happy Anniversary!
I love Ikea too...maybe more than my hubby? No, not really! (But it's a close call sometimes!)
