I am absolutely floored. I like her organization system. It's over the top for me, but there are some ideas that I might adapt for my craft room.

This video came from Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims' show 'Quilter's News ' from today's e-mail I got.

Since the room is only 14 x 14, they are showing how Libby Lehman maximizes every inch to get the most storage out of her room.
It looks like her magnetic PT rack is on her longarm.
Guess they figured we didn't need to see machines since they were showcasing the organization issues most hobbyist/designers deal with.
Guess if I put out the kind of quilt designs and quilts she does, I would be that organized, too.
Different strokes for different folks.

That is a bit tooo much - stuff and organizing- even for me. I do like everything being labeled though. Like the foam core used for ribbons, and fancy stuff. And like others have said ---- where is her sewing machine and sewing area?

LAL should have been LOL. I really think this was put together just to show what could be done and that is it.

It did look more like a small store than one of OUR rooms, didn't it? And does she actually use ALL of that stuff? Power to her.....I guess I do like my little bit of mess.

My rooms are a mess but I do know which pile MOST things are in. Even at it's best I don't expect my work area to even slightly resemble that! I actually USE my room every day! :-D
