Right this minute I'm working on a Log Cabin and using mostly scraps----my sewing table is piled so high and all over that I can barely SEE my sewing machine. That's how I work, when this quilt is finished I'll clean up then start the same process of making a mess again with my next project. That's called Quiltmaking, right ladies???
Be a happy quilter, Kutnso

Sounds exactly like my husband. He helps with everything around the house; and my sewing/craft room is a mess. I think he lets it go for a long time and then says something. I feel guilty because he does do so many things to help me - laundry, clean-up after dinner, preparation when we're having a gathering - and I could go on and on. I just don't feel guilty enough to clean the room. When I do, a few days later, no one would know.

I bet he wouldn't have liked it if you had started calling him out on his garage space.

That would be nice. I would be messy too,if it weren't for the customers that come into the fabric rooms to pick our their fabric for quilts. That forces me to pick up everything as I go and put it back in its right place.

My husband retired before I did. The first thing he said he was going to do was "rearrange" my cupboards. I quickly put him straight on that.

My husband knows to stay out of my sewing room and keep his judgments about my housekeeping to himself!

DH never complains about a mess anywhere. He is the "drop it where you use it" kind of man. Drives me crazy.

My Dad had a work shop, if anything fell on the floor it stayed there for a long time. You don't have a sewing room to clean it, you have one to use. In order to use it, it gets messy.
