This is how it looked before I discovered split yarn's tutorial:
and this is how it is today:
Oh joy...I can see what I have now. I feel I might be able to make something in here instead of just coming in and using the computer. Here's how I did it:
I bought the comic book boards from John. They are just fairly tough pieces of cardboard. You take your fabric and wrap it around the board like so:
and then you make a pretty stack like this:
and then you hope that they will fit in the original basket and if they do you place them in gently: 
and then you drool over what you've got..........
What a result!I think I'll have to get me some!

Like Kristy I think I'll have to get some of those boards - the result is fantastic.

I am so impressed. When I tidied my fabric stash last year I showed my mum and auntie and they just laughed and shook their heads. I still don't know what the joke was, they were supposed to be impressed.

You did a great job sorting it all out. Now you will have some space to be creative. That is what I discovered when I started sorting out my "studio" and stash this summer. I can actually find things now.
On another subject, "women's work"... is a great book. I discovered it a few years ago and was amazed by her research and stories. enjoy.

It looks great! I will definitely have to put that fabric sorting idea on my to do list. Its so good to be able to see at first glance all the different fabrics. Well done you!

Wow, this kind of organisation puts me to shame. You've inspired me to *think* about tidying my stash cupboard...I said *think*..not *do*...I've got to get psyched up for that!

Very nice! I'm still working my way through my fabric stash. I've got a ways to go.
Your pinboard came out great!!
