It does my heart good to know that I am not the only quilter with a messy room! I'm always feeling guilty cuz it is such a mess. I straighten it and then I've made a mess again.

Darn! I thought you were talking about being "cool!"
My sewing room if far from neat, but almost all of the floor is visible and the 3 tables still have plenty of spaces to work on. It's the perimeters that are "busy." That is mostly because I don't have the storage space to put everything that I have away.
In a perfect world, everything would have it's own place.

I figure if I spend time organizing too much, I won't get time to sew... so sew first, organize second. I organize out of necessity now. If I cannot walk through the room, then it is time to clean it. I also wait until I finish a project, clean, then start a new one. It works for me... usually.

A tornado rips thru my sewing room every so often and I just have to clean it up before I start another project. I try to control myself but it is impossible. I have lost "stuff" and I know some day they will show up!

QuiltswithConvicts I am like you in that my floor is clear but every flat surface is covered and piles of 'stuff' that can be more than one layer. I don't like it that way. I need more storage space.

I'm a neat person because now my sewing room, which used to be the dining room, is easily seen and accessible to the rest of the house. I understand the photos of sewing areas that look like controlled chaos, but though my tendancy is to leave things that way, I don't.
I'm in the process of ironing my stash, and though it makes me seem ocd, I discovered that neat fabric makes room for more!
