Quilters, fabric artists and seamstresses generally have a love of fabric. That’s sometimes why they’ve gotten involved in these hobbies, then turned them into businesses to justify all the fabric they collect.

How to disguise the fabric as they bring it into the house and then where to store it once it’s there becomes a challenge. What are your techniques and where do you store your fabrics?
My cousin uses some of her fabric (that which overflows the sewing room/office) in the living room as part of the decor. When I walked into her home, my eyes immediately focused on the fabric and quilts stacked on shelves. Even though she couldn’t display all of this so you saw the full design, the colorful fabrics were very appealing on shelves.
Penny Halgren, at How to Quilt, has some interesting suggestions about Storing Fabric for Quilting that might help you. Most of these also would apply to storing fabric for any type of sewing.
