Fun With Fabric

I have been happily sidetracked from UFOs for the last few days by taking over our family room and playing with my stash instead. I'm just about done putting my "rainbow" stash on comic boards. By the end of the day these will be sorted by value and put back into my stash closet.
I absolutely cannot organize without making a huge mess! I've been listening to audio books while doing this and love it - I'm not much of a multi-tasker anymore but this works for me. I listen to a chapter, take a break and then I want to listen to another chapter so I keep at it. I watched Season 1 of Downton Abbey on Netflix the day I started, but found I was doing more watching than working!
Upstairs I'm cutting fabrics for an HGTV Board swap and cutting up odd lengths of stash fabric into squares and strips...
with my trusty helper Jax. Yesterday it was J-Meow who kept me company while Tucker and Jax snoozed on the sofa.

Jax is always hungry so any activity in the kitchen brings him running. And who can resist rewarding that sweet little face with a treat - not this Grandma!

I'm linking up to Freemotion by the River.

    Your fabric looks beautiful......almost to pretty to cut up! Jax sure is a cuties and I think "grandma" is having way too much fun with the grand-kitties! Thanks for sharing.

    I have never organized my stash. I am a very organized person except for my stash. I need to do this. Maybe your post will inspire me to get at it! You have lovely fabrics!
