My lounge room has become my sewing room and I store the fabric under my bed. I don't 'clean - up' any more if I have visitors. They can sit in my work room and enjoy the process. I had one person who visited, had coffee and cake and then gossiped about 'the mess' and so I don't worry any more. It is not dirt. It is just material and industry. The only thing that is a problem is that I don't have enough room when I want to sandwich my quilts to get ready for the quilting. Most people don't worry about the fact that they have coffee in the workroom, and I have a number of friends who offer their large areas when it is time for me to sandwich.
