How my stash is organised, more about EQ6

My stash is in plastic boxes that are on shelves in a cupboard. Queensland is not a climate for leaving fabrics on open shelves because of the fading. Besides, I am not tidy enough for that.
These are the boxes:
  • White to Black
  • Cream to Brown
  • Red
  • Yellow and Orange
  • Green and Aqua
  • Purple
  • Blue
As every fabriholic knows, some fabrics don't fit into a colour category because they have multiple colours. They are sorted by value in the following boxes
  • Multi light
  • Multi medium
  • Multi dark
  • Multi bright
Then there are 2 more boxes with theme fabrics
  • I spy and other children's fabrics
  • Butterfly, ethnic, sewing designs
And about EQ6: I still have problems opening the program, the opening window comes up, then disappears behind the design window and the program then freezes, so later on I'll re install. Even this can be a problem,  because I think you can reinstall the program only so many times, something many users have complained about.

But.....I realised also that placing designs into the sketchbook, does NOT save them automatically, so, all that work is gone, about 14 different versions of Dancing Fans and I am still very happy that the important parts were printed out.
