WARNING! Fabric porn! 
If these pictures don’t just set your heart a singing, I don’t know what will! By the way, this second photo is part of my collection of vintage batiks from Indonesia. Aside from silly hatbands, I have spent my sewing-machine-less time well. I am putting my fabric collection on little mini bolts. 
I am using these magazine boards that I bought from Amazon. Don’t you just love Amazon? When you live on a small island, it’s the only way to get your hands on certain things. 
I’ve fired up Netflix, and I’ve been sitting here for days folding fabric around these boards. I can’t even begin to tell you how much space this saves. 
I am preparing to move into my much larger studio quarters. I have no idea what I will use to hold all my mini bolts, but for now they are fitting nicely in these plastic bins. And I can see ALL of my fabric. 
I also need to figure out how to sort the fabric. I do like this last bin and the rainbow sorting method. 
These two bins have fat quarters, half yards, and pieces under a yard.
Let’s have a show of hands, how many times have you Googled fabric storage? How many times have you oohhh-ed and aahhh-ed over fabric collections on mini-bolts? How many pictures of mini bolts have you pinned on your Fabric Storage Pinterest board?
Right here and now, I am throwing out a challenge to my cousin Kim and her new sewing room. Are YOUR fabrics on mini bolts?
This project is almost making me happy that my Destiny is in the shop. Almost. At least I can say proudly that I got something done while my machine was at the spa. I did not just curl up into a whining, little ball and watch a Downton Abbey marathon. Oh no, not me.
