SBQs

*****
Today's SBQs were suggested by Ami and Anna and are:

Do you have an organizational system for your fabric? If so, what is it? If not, what do you store your fabric in?

How do people store their fabric, especially those small but
potentially usable pieces? Do they sort by count? How do they label it or otherwise know what each piece is?

These questions sort of cross over so I will answer them together.....
No set system, but they are in the same general area. *wink
Well most of the pieces that are folded (from Silkweavers and some eBay fabrics) are in "the hope chest".The monaco that I have bought from the craft stores are still in roll form but usually already taken out of the plastic tube in came in, and is either in the basket next to my stiching chair or in the box in the livingroom closet (I think) as most of the last pieces I bought have been used.
As I just threw the fabrics into the chest and box there is no real set system yet.
The small pieces like from Silkweavers I left labeled in the plastic they came in (I even added information on a few of them such as size and count, as some of them were from the Odds'n Ends list as they were moving. Such good deals!)
I have been waiting to hear what everyone else does!
The system I am still working on, a work in progress in itself , is adding them to my crossstitch inventory Excel file. Which is a challenge for a few items, guesswork on some of the pieces from eBay.

Today's SBQ was suggested by Ami and is:

For those of you who use hand or over-dyed floss, how do you store it?
Well I haven't used them yet but.....the threads are in a small plastic tote type thing and placed inside the hope chest. I have the light effects in there too.
