Problem: Kay is a quilter and she has a whole room in her house devoted just to quilting. The problem is that she has fabric, and more fabric and even more fabric. And along with the fabric she has batting and rulers and patterns and cutting tools and the list goes on. Kay couldn't use her work surfaces because they were piled with fabric and she couldn't close the doors to her storage closet.

Simplified Solution: Simplified Living helped Kay gather sort and contain all of her fabric. Started projects were put into separate plastic bins and labeled for easy identification. Hooks were hung for rulers and the drawers were organized to separate yarn from thread and cutting tools from templates. Kits and patterns now have their own filing system. Shelves were installed for all of her books and manuals. And Space Bags were used to store all of the batting that was taking over the closet.

Testimonial: I know now what I have, what I need and where it is. I am currently involved in a 12 quilt commission and was able to go directly to the file box to retrieve photo paper because I knew where it was. I can find anything I need immediately because it is all labelled and filed. [Uncompleted projects] are easy to finish because they are all organized in an easy to follow labelled way. I love being in my room more than ever now that I know where everything is. Thanks again for all of the help!!
