Does your sewing room always stay cluttered?

I tidy up after each time I sew. I may leave what I'm working on, on top of the sewing machine and I may have threads on the floor but the room is always neat. I have some odds and ends stuffed in the closet but at least it's out of sight and the room always looks decent. I can't sew in a mess.

I have a very small room with limited floor and wall space. I at least straighten up after each project or it would be a total mess all the time. When I have something going on there will be strands of thread on the floor, pieces of fabric, etc laying around. This weekend after I finish a job I'm working on I'll straigthen up and then have some embroidery to work on while I chose the fabric for my Happy Daisy quilt that will be a tribute to my sons dog who died this yr of old age but last yr saved his whole house from a burning house that had to be rebuilt from the bottom up. Her name was Daisy and I plan on putting a picture of her on the back with the lable.

Creativity is MESSY business. Especially when I have more than one quilting project going at all times. Currently my quilting and sewing space looks as if a tornado visited it. You are not alone. Having more space would just mean I would fill it up and end up in the same condition. Hopeless here.

I think quilting is the messiest craft there is! So many supplies to keep track of... threads... scraps... you name it!
Using bins and containers for projects and supplies makes a big difference for me. It makes cleanup quicker which means that I am much more likely to use them (elaborate storage for me means I don't use it!). Drawers and using every inch of closet space helps me too. I find that when my surfaces get cluttered I avoid my room!
