My DH told his friend that his quilter wife would not be making quilts or sewing if the room stayed in perfect order. The friend even gave his wife one of those closet organizer built ins and a big room for Christmas. Some people just don't get it!! At least my hubby understands because his fishing stuff looks like my quilting stuff.

I get to have a messy quilting room until fall. Then i help teenagers learn to piece quilts for Project Linus again, and I have to fit 3 complete stations in my room. Of course, they have to walk through it and not trip over extension cords in the way too.

I might show a finished project to someone, but I don't like ppl in my sewing room.
I blame that mostly on dh!
About a month ago he was talking to me and wanted to know where something was and he just went in there...I went right behind him...he looked around and said, "There's the magnifying glass you've been looking for."
me: "that's not the one I'm talking about!"
dh: there's the __ you couldn't find.
Me: It was never lost. You didn't hear what I said.
dh: "no wonder you can't find anything."
Me: "I know right where all my stuff is and this is exactly why I don't like you to go in there. The minute you do, all you do is criticize!"
There was no way he could deny what he had just done.
Go in my space and point, point, point!
So, now when anybody comes over, I shut the door...MINE!!!! :hunf:

I understand that starting to cleaning out a room and a month later I am still working on it. There are not enough hours in the day to even get through a little bit of my sewing room. Oh well, that gives me something to do another day.
