Can I take you up on that offer to help me with my room? I have re-arranged all my stuff for the last 2 weekends. It still looks the same. If you a limited space and too much stuff it will always look the same. My goal is to use up all the stuff I have bought. My LQS is giving a " stash buster class" but all the patterns seem to require matching fabrics and use only 2 -3 fabrics. I think every one of the patterns so far have required that I needed to buy more fabrics to go with something I really wondered why I had bought it in the first place. I made a quilt for the class had to buy $40 worth of background fabric to go with the ugly fabric in my stash - end result- the ugliest quilt I have ever seen!! I 'm embrassed to even donate to charity!! I'm thinking of just giving some things away. Told my hubby if I die no one gets into my sewing room -how sad is that?

Well, Praise The Lord! Here I was wishing I could have a wonderfully neat quilting space like everyone else on here has. Now I know I'm in good company, but I'm probaby messier than anyone else. I hate my messes, but I just stand there and don't even know where to start getting it all straightened up. I'll even bet there are more of us "messy" ones than there there are super neat ones. My 48 yr. old son says that the first thing he is going to do after I die is have a dumpster pulled up to the door and start cleaning house. Now, that's real love isn't it?

I have a quilting corner in my guest bedroom. Whats bad is I have to move things into the closet when we have guests. That you can't get a toe into . I had such plans for that small walkin closet. Bought the plastic drawers for fabric. But by the time I got other things in there I can hardly open the drawers. I keep wishing that the quilting fairy would come by during the night and tap her magic wand in the closet and set it all straight . So far she hasn't done it. lol And after looking at some of the photos I can see she is slacking in her job lol.

I guess I am unique. My sewing machine is in front of my window in the living room. My stach is in a closet( floor to ceiling). My batting is under the bed in our guest bedroom. I cut the stuff out on my table, so only one stepis done at a time and the project at hand is on the sewing machine. It works for my hubby and me Yes he alsomakes quilts. He has 4 ready to sew I have 2

There's no way around it. Quilting makes a mess (just ask my hubby who spent a good hour trying to get all the threads out of the central vac brush) But, I make a mess as I'm sewing but can only stand the mess for a short time. Sometimes I just have to stop and put away a few things so I can clear my mind. I am not a neatnick but I have to have some type of order. Some days I walk in my sewing room and wonder why I didn't hear the bomb. I absolutely have to have my stash orderly...that's a must. To each their own: we just want to sew.

I am at my daughter's home, so my cutting table is in my bedroom and I've taken over the dining room for sewing and ironing. Of course, I have only been here a week, so it's still pretty clean!
