Since I live alone, there is nobody to veto a move to living room, however when DH was living he would not have objected. I have an L shaped work area along two walls and two long tables in center of room. I maintain the more stuff out in the open the more successful the creative vibes are flowing. So, after one of those flows, I have to straighten up and put things away. I am maybe the worlds worst at organizing my fabric and accessories, but my intentions are good. I love my conversion of sewing area to living room... When sewing groups come over, they roam via open double pocket doors and french doors from den to dining room to living room. It warms my heart to see them enjoy this old house, especially when they bring their children. My family and guests are always interested in my projects and the quilt in a frame I am currently hand quilting, this one in the den.
