This was a time-consuming.confusing, unnecessary search.
So today I decided "No More." I started putting everything back in its place after I used it and it has already paid off! When I put stuff back right away in its rightful place, then there is no stress trying to find it. And there is no time wasted by having to "re-organize" my quilting room. Paulien
Since the time I can sit and quilt or cut fabric are very limited, due to physical issues, I can't waste my time. SO I've found the only way to work is efficiently. Wasted steps or time searching meeans no progress. SO at the end of each work session everything is picked up and my next step of ironing or sewing is all set up and ready for me for my next day. Works for me and now you...maybe some messy quilters will give it a try too!
