Bookshelves and baskets.

I use an old (huge) desk for a cutting station and have 2 cutting mats on it. I store stabilizers and other stuff in the drawers. I have all my rulers on the wall within reach. My thread all hangs on the wall as well. I have a design wall across one whole wall, and use the opposite wall to hang quilts for pictures.
I took some smaller bookshelves and turned them on their side and stacked them and use baskets and boxes. As I pull fabrics for upcoming orders, they get put into these boxes and then as I cut the fabric they go into a clear box with a lid and notes as to the pattern, fabric cut sizes, etc. As I sew, everything goes back into the clear box until the top is complete, then the top, backing fabric and the thread go into another unit with drawers that's by my longarm machine and await quilting.
My fabric is all folded onto comic book boards and stores upright on bookshelves. (My breast cancer fabric is actually in a locked cabinet) .

I'll see if I can get a few pictures tomorrow and post for you.

IKEA has really great stuff for organizing!'
