All my life I have been a neat person...almost over the top. I began quilting at retirement and my sewing room is always a mess during a project. It s therapeutic for me. I can work just fine in a messy room which shocks my children. I have to clean up after each project before I can begin anything new. Guess the neatness is still in me but I give myself permission to work in a mess. Different strokes for different folks. Glad to hear I have some that are like me.
