I am glad my sewing space in in the basement.. guests don't see my "stuff" unless they are very "quilter friendly". That way I don't have to provide any "reason" for the "stuff".
I have a quilting friend who drives me crazy throwing away fabric. If it is less than 1/4 yard, she pitches it. I just follow right behind her and retrieve it. I'm not too proud to dumpster dive. I love scrappy quilts. lol
