One of the most frequently asked questions by non-quilters is, "What do you do with all the quilts you make?" In the early days of my quilting journey, most of them were given away. Nowadays, I keep more than I give or donate. What you see here is a small snippet of the quilt stash closet.
This closet was originally your average closet with a rod and shelf used for storing our coats and seasonal decor. During my pattern writing years the closet was transformed into my office desk and shipping station. The rest of the room was storage for my quilts, business supplies and quilt photo staging area.
After closing the business, the closet was used to store quilts and seasonal decor. While the totes kept the quilts dust free, they are heavy and hard to move and stack when full of quilts.
This isn't all of the quilts. There're 21 quilts on display or in use throughout the house. Sigh...I can see that in a few years my quilts will outgrow the closet. I may need to make this spare bedroom a quilt storage room. Oh well, for now I'm loving the easy access to the quilts and no more heavy lifting.

Storage of quilts is a problem. When my mother was here before Christmas I went through mine and ended up gifting many of them to family members at her suggestion. Now I can restock with some new favorites.
ReplyDeleteAs quilters we just love to make and most of the time perhaps we don't know what is the purpose of that quilt. But looking at a stack of quilts just makes my heart sing!! I wonder what mine would look like if I stacked them all in one place, LOL.
