Oh, you all warm my heart. In order to bring order to my sewing room I am going to have to take all the furniture out and then all of the other things. It is driving me crazy. I know that is the only way... oh, that and letting go of other crafts I haven't done for years will give me more space for all of my quilting stuff... I hope!

Organized is a relative word here!! I've taken over 1/2 of the sunroom for my sewing and cutting and all my fabric and everything else is in the basement!!! I get to have 2 places to make a mess!! Woo Hoo!! So I keep running up and down the stairs (you'd think I'd be skinny by this point - NOT!!!). I pull fabric run to sunroom to see if I like it (wonderful light), if not back downstairs! Not the ultimate, but I love working in the sunroom and DH won't give up the other end for TV viewing when its nice out. Its a long room that at one end is LR furniture and the other has been taken over by me!! Maybe one day it'll ALL be MINE!!! Let's see how uncomfortable I can make him!! :lol: :lol:

Maybe it's that spring time ritual. We just moved my sewing room from a large (dark) room in the basement to a much smaller (but brighter) bedroom upstairs. We put my cabinets in the closet but had to leave the doors off so I can get to them. My hubby built me a wonderful sewing table with drawers and a countertop from the Habitat for Humanity Restore for only $40 and it takes up one whole wall. I have my TV, my small book shelf and even my Gracie quilting frame in a 10 x 10 room. I got it all organized, then took a bunch of fabric out last night to start a quilt for a co-workers wedding. So much for a clean room.

What I like about organizing is that I always find something I have been looking for or that I have forgotten. I "tidy" up my fabrics about 2 times a year. It's almost like going shopping!
And for Carol in Colorado, I would love to see some pics of your 10 x 10 bedroom with your Gracie frame set up. I put my frame in the storage building because I got so stressed from being crowded in my den (sewing room) which is 16 x 24'. I would like to set the frame up in my small bedroom but didn't think I had enough room to get around it.
