Since returning from Florida last week, I have felt very scattered -- lack of focus, and have not gotten a lot accomplished. I cleaned the cutting table off and picked up the items and books off the floor. Project boxes were stacked under a side table and batting stored away. Still I hard a difficult time getting to work.
Well now, I think I diagnosed my problem, and it is not just allergies and pollen. I am embarrassed to say it is being messy and disorganized.....check out this photo to see what I mean.
I ran across the mini-bolt idea from http://polarnotions.com/ and I think I will use their folding technique for getting some of this arranged. I have a huge stack of plastic type cover sheets that I am going to experiment with before I make an investment in their mini-bolts.
Any and all storage ideas are welcomed....please share them.

Oh if only I had some storage ideas!! I get the same restlessness when it gets so disorganized that I don't feel like quilting! I wonder if I used the mini-bolt system whether I'd just end up with fabric AND mini-bolts lying around! Here's part of Cathy Miller's storage solution in the song - '100 Ways to Hide your Stash'.
"Pad it in a pillow, buy a bass violin,
Cram it in a corner, tuck it in a tin,
Turn off your freezer, fill up your bin, Unplug the oven, you can fit it all in"
her last line is:
"No more room in here, buy the house next door!!"

The song it too cute! Luckily I don't have to hide my stash...we would end up with baked paisley or grilled florals for dinner.
Debbie, what type of plastic are you wrapping the fabric around? I know your resourcefulness.;o) Sarge
Sarge, I did some research and discovered what I used to wrap the bolts on is called a presentation/ report cover for binding. Heavy weight.
hee - hee, so when you coming over to help me w/ my over flowing yarn & fabric ;)
Ok, smarty pants....when you give me free reign to do it my way..
