I started sewing when I was 6 or 7 and quilting a kazillion yrs ago. Sometime ago I stopped ... cold turkey. Why? A lot of difficult issues, but with my cousin's encouragement I started up again this February. The room I was going to use was a disaster area from having too many guests stay way too long. So I cleaned it up real spiffy and plunged back in to the world of quilting.
I had very little fabric left bec I had given most of it away. But then I remembered a WIP that I knew was somewhere in the house. As I searched I found fabric stashes and lots of WIPs that I had stashed in the back of closets, under beds & top shelves of cupboards etc. NOW ... "my room" again looks like a disaster area, but it is a sewing-fabric disaster ... I love it, especially the way all the colors blend together .... I bet I could design a quilt from my quilt room mess !!!

I've not included the stack of bins in the dining room or the stuff in the corner in the living room---------where I do my sewing.
This is stack in corner just outside sewing/storage room.
NE corner of storage room
then east wall of room.
Oh, drat, I forgot to rotate the hall corner
Does it count that I'm in a wheelchair and can stand for less than a minute at a time? Hubby doesn't have time to help---nor the patience. What I intend to do is hire someone to carry boxes and bins to the bedroom and living room some morning-----------then sort for days---------then hire them to carry stuff back.

I did manage to get 8 UFOs out of here thanks to the challenge(well some are finished but still in here :) I'll slowly keep plugging away at it and someday it'll be done.

After seeing so many of the fantastic creations shown here by all of you truly gifted artists, it's no wonder if you sometimes have messy spaces...continue to enjoy your creating and forget about the messes...Hope all of you have a healthy, happy, and CREATIVE holidays...Naomi

i used to move a lot and really liked the fact that it made me straighten up the mess. then after i settled and started "living" again it went right back to it.
all those who say messy is creative are right on. :roll: :lol: :oops:
