I now have to put the stuff in the right places, which will take some time!

These are my beginning pictures so you can share the journey with me.

Funny how that fabric gets away from you, huh! I just redid my small sewing area, so I would know where everything is at, and guess what? I'm having a heck of a time finding anything. Haha!

Purplemem, you have no idea what an encourgment you were to me during the Boomerang swap! You introduced me to the Coroplast boards and that got me started! I sorted and then color sorted the fabric and started wrapping. I have such a beautiful little fabric display in my quilting room now - Thanks to you! It is such a wonderful feeling to look at my quilting space and really like it.

I know you can do it! I've seen it. Clear the surfaces and straighten those shelves (only to get more fabric on them!) and take one day at a time, a couple hours a day and work at it slowly. Before you know it you will have a beautiful quilting room again! YOU GO GIRL!

I can't wait to see the after pix.

Uhhh... Where is your sewing machine?? I wish I was there to help you. I love to organize.

The funny thing is, once you have a place for certain things and put them back there when you are finished, it stay's that way... pretty much anyway.

You will love having a nice room to sew in and knowing where everything is.

Have fun with it purplemem.

Wow!!! I could have fun shopping in there, even with the chaos... But I have a question, and I mean no offense. Im smiling when I say this- But how does a room get like that. Besides the obvious I mean. Dont you sew in there? Dont you walk in there everyday and quilt? I do not have OCD by no mean and I have alot in my room and, and, and I seriously hate cleaning it too-yuck0- but wheres the workspace? Can you work in there like that or do you stay out of it cause its so disorganized?? I get so mad if there's 'stuff' on my work area and have to move it out of the way so I can quilt. May not be put away in its right spot but it can't be right ON my workspace or near my sewing machines, floor works good so it ends up there until it finds its put away spot.. I was just wondering after seeing all these posts of rooms in chaos.. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you send some fabric to me Just think the less cleaning you have to do. :thumbup: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cant wait to see the after pictures.. YOU GO GIRL!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

OK MJ! I want to come and help. It is always more fun to clean someone else's home. And the fabric- oooh the fun!

And yes- where is your machine????

You have so much stash! I am so envious. It will look and feel great when you are done.

Seriously, it wasn't like this until DH started to reorganize. Then he started piling things to move them out of his way. I had to have new shelves because I had begun stacking my projects and fabrics.

I also had to move my queen size hand quilting frame out of the sewing room and into the living room. When that was moved, we took everything off the shelves to expand the shelving area. What you can't see is the fabric already on boards ready to go back on the shelves.

DH is hanging pegboard now to hang my rulers. It is not as bad as it looks, a lot of those piles are fabric on top of rolling drawers. They will slide under my new 4 foot long table that holds my new Accuquilt Go!

I have a whole dresser he's moved in one corner with drawers and glass shelves. That will hold my FQ's and bobbins, etc.

So, I DO have a plan of action! Time for me to WORK!
