We will be traveling for most of January so can not start now, but have vowed to begin when we return and get all the Holiday things stored. I am not sure I am brave enough to show a before photo. Everything in my sewing craft room must be removed, sorted and reorganized. Hopefully this group's mission to "save" ourselves will be the push I need.

Hi Kim, just took a look at your pictures. Zoned in right away on the U of M/Piston project. I've got a T-shirt quilt 'started' for my son, that is the T-shirts are cut up, that I was going to give him at the end of his freshman year at Western. He's a senior now, luckly it will take him 5 years so maybe he will get it before he graduates. I found Western Michigan Univ. fabric that I'd like to incorporate somehow. Where in SE Mi are you? I'm in Livonia, west side of Detroit. Take care and your room is in much better shape than mine is at the get go. Thanks for inspiring us to "get going and get organized"!

Grandma cindy, you could darn near use the whole door as a ped board.
i will say that i only have a couple of nail holes in my walls..the peg board is one of them
..for everything else, i use the command strips...they have never ruined a wall/paint or wallpaper when removed.

I also made a "big board" to place on my ironing board. It makes ironing fabric easier. Also shelves and drawer units, large and small organize items and fabrics. I sort my fabrics by color, then other drawers for prints, kids, and holidays, and fat quarters. I'm also blessed with 2 large closets in this room. It was originally our oldest son's room. He has his own house now! Here are some more pics.
