1) Misses the waste basket when i through away thread or
scraps, they land on the floor and get caught in the
wheels of my rolling chair making chair hard to move?
2) Just keeps pilling up stuff when quilting until I can not
move and then have no choice but to clean up at least
a little?

In regards to question 2... yes, I'm guilty as charged! When I'm on a quilting/sewing jag I don't want to stop to clean, so I leave things to clean up after I'm finished with the project. I see it as a positive habit because otherwise my sewing room would never get clean!

I bought myself one of those gizmo's that you hang right on your table next to your machine to catch tiny bits of thread you want to toss. As carefully as I try, 9 out of 10 times then end up right beside it on the floor. I mean, how can I miss the darn thing, I can put my hand right in the pocket and then drop it on the floor. :|

Has a messy basement sewing area. My daughter used to work with me but she obsessive/compulsive and says 'it scares her' to go down there. (It looks like her bedroom did as a teenager...now she is a 'neatnik'.) Love her anyway.

I have 3 of those "hanging" thread baskets that you keep right next to the sewing machine & when doing embroidery I still have thread over the entire house! I was having tests done the other day in the hospital & DH was with me, had a red thread on him. There was a nurse in there "charting" & I said "ohhhhh you've been with that damn quilter again haven't you?" & you should have saw the nurse look out of the corner of her eyes! Didn't know if she should stay or go!
