    I sometimes wish I had a sewing room but I'm doing okay with my little corner of the dinner table.

    Ironing and cutting are done on my portable dishwasher

    WIP is on a corner of the buffet or draped over a chair back

    I don't mind cleaning up

    I have to because I don't have a sewing room but that's okay because I can't work in a messy or disorganized space anyway-makes me panicky overwhelmed and physically upset

    I hate not being able to find things

    I dislike the sandwich making process, especially with a large quilt and no table large enough to take it in one go.

    It used to be the cutting......but since I got the Accuquilt, and my triangle rulers ( Companion angle, Easy angle and the Tri Recs set ) cutting is no longer an issue, and my blocks FIT for the first time EVER......

    Have you seen Bonnie Hunter's Smith Mountain Morning pattern? I am making this in a King Size for my son, and it came together beautifully with purples, greens and neutral batiks......will post a picture later.....

    pinning the layered sandwich is the only part that is not 100% fun for me.

    hand sewing the binding and coming around the last corner, my heart sings !

    Having a project I am excited to start, then realizing that I have to clean up my sewing room BEFORE I can start. And, obviously, cleaning up after!
