Your idea sound great. I sew in the kitchen, have quilting material in the garage, on the dining room table and, upstair in two bedroom and in the pantry. Sometimes it is like an egg hunt, where did I put such and such. Every once in awhile we have guests, then all the stuff gets put in its corner somewhere in the house. I use having guests for dinner as a time to put stuff away. Then slowly it creeps back from the four corners of the house.
