Stash and sewing space

Some of you in the blogosphere have shown your sewing space and stash.  I wanted to show you mine.  Seriously just a nickel tour.
Here is my stash.  This ALL of my fabric that isn't purposed for a project.  I have made many scrap projects this year and have not purchased much of anything that wasn't NEEDED for something (like border fabrics or a neutral). 

Here are my strip bins.  1.5", 2", 2.5"

Here is my crumb bin and two string bins separated by lights and darks.  Before I made my last two scrap projects, you couldn't fit ANYTHING else into the darks bin.  I have used up a lot of fabric this year and am so pleased.

My novelty fabrics.  Some of you may remember pictures from a while ago and know this has been greatly diminished.  Still, I do think they have reproduced.  The bag has novelty strings and the box has some FQs and bigger squares.  In my stash bin I have a Ziploc full of 6" squares for use in I spy or bug jar quilts.

My work space.  If you turn around you are in my dining room.  I have to quilt on my dining room table so I have space to drape the quilt.  In the closet, there are shoe boxes with kitted quilts.  The fabric in it has not really been cut up or anything.  I have a box with reds because I want to make a red and white scrappy irish chain with redwork.  I have strips for a scrappy 9 patch, a box with blue fabrics for my BIL's christmas present.  I also have one other bin with a ton of 2" HSTs for a basket quilt.  That is one of my next projects I think.

Look what I won!

I often do not like to try hard to win at a giveaway.  I might answer a simple question, but if I have to go through tons of hoops I just move on.  One blog that does have very interesting giveaways is Annies Ruby Slippers (I call it just Adventures in Oz).  While you put in some effort to join her Mystery Mondays, it is totally interesting, fun, and entertaining!  I just love the ideas she comes up with and look forward to them every week!  Recently, I won one!  Here is my loot!

I asked for blue because I am going to make a monochromatic quilt for my BIL (he is 13 lol) for Christmas.  He is into the Yankees so I want to make something with similar colors.

Also today I was cleaning my stash.  I have been messing it up recently with a lot of sewing so it was time to give it a quick fix.  I ran across these lovelies and really need to find something to use these in!

Soon, I will give you all a tour of my sewing corner.  Seriously that is pretty much it.  It isn't even a dime tour, more like a nickel tour!  Anyway, look forward to showing you where I create!
