Hmm, looks completely fine to me! I'll bet you know where everything is, and that's what counts! LOL

Thanks for all the support comments and gentle nudges. I'm taking your advice; I just pulled out of the piles the five fabrics I need for the first projects I need to get to: birthday blocks and wall hanging. After that I'll focus on decluttering the cutting area just enough so I can use it comfortably.

I track threads all over the apartment and such. Mine is always messy and I know where things are for the most part, but I can clean it up and once I get it cleaned up,,,,out comes the fabric! You'll be fine, Just do a litle each day and you'll be fine. but beware, the fabric could end up comming out just like me. Huggies, Fay

Wow.. I wish my sewing room looked that organized. Mine is a disaster right now. I keep starting new projects before finishing others, so I have chaos right now. It doesn't help that I have to share my room with my pantry and my laundry.

(I did take the time to hang the pretty doll quilt from Sapdoggie, though!)

Someday, I will organize all this

Counter space... what counter space?

Scary, huh?

Better even than that, don't wash the fabric at all. Works very well for me. If I had to wash fabric before using it, I would stop quilting immediately!!

I only wash if I am doing a swap. Otherwise, everything is unwashed. I only wash fabric that I know is going to be used for a swap project within a day or two of taking it out of the washer.

If you clean it up and put everything away...how will you ever find anything you want when you want it. Don't fix it if it ain't broke..it's still manageable the way it is.

My husband thinks I am the only person that can make such a big mess, in fact last year we had our house on the market and he and MY daughters took all of my sewing stuff and put it in storage. I am slowing getting it back but still have storage units I would love to have back in there , but will just have to show him I can do some what better now that I have a brain.
