In my house there are 2 quilters. We each have our own sewing space and we also have a shared space. We both have to have at least 2 projects going at a time so we don't get bored with one plus we usually have a shared project out as well. The shared space gets pretty messy really fast when we both are working on our individual projects and our shared project. We try to straighten up regularly, but.... Once every 3 or 4 months we do a serious cleaning and organizing. I just always remind myself that creativity knows no bounds so why should my projects. Ha!
