There are quite a few "neatniks" on our board, but I see, you are NOT one of them - either am I. But once I started organizing I found so many neat things I FORGOT I had - its just like Christmas! I can't sew in my room either - I have taken one of my many machines to the basement to sew, but it is pretty cluttered itself now ----- I am a slob....A fellow quilter should hire out and help organize and straighten ---only THEY could appreciate all the "treasures" we all collect!
