I have finally cleaned and organized my sewing/craft room--at least for this month. I am a compulsive organizer. I'm never really satisfied. Besides quilting I also do scrapbooking and cardmaking.

Can I move in? That is a great place to work.So much light, so many storage areas! I'm very jealous!

I am going to today. Need to make a new valance for the window and then I need to get started on the 3 swaps I signed up for. Except for the table runner I have no idea what I am doing for the Red/White/Blue or the Snowmen swaps. It will probably take me all day just to decide on a block for those. I am awful at making those decisions.

Looks like you have a very nice room!!!!

reading your stuff, you so make me laugh. We have a LOT in common.
I am sure I would be a scrapbooker too, was a little bit in the past, but I have no room left for any more stuff.
You, my dear, have just enough stuff and have it beautifully organized. I am more compulsive and have more stuff, hence less time and always changing everything and taking forever to make decisions on colors, patterns, etc. etc. etc.
(have to compulsively have 3 etc.s :thumbup: )

Very nice. Now, when will you be coming to SW Ohio to help me with my room? You are an inspiration. I really have to get moving on my room. By the way what are the deminsions of your room? It looks huge. Great job you should be proud.

sewsue 04-08-2010 10:34 AM

Wow you sure have a neat room, could you please come and organize mine soon????? sigh

Bailey's mom 04-08-2010 10:44 AM

Can I be your next project to organize?

Melinda in Tulsa 04-08-2010 10:49 AM

Wow, what a nice sewing room.

If you would have seen what the realtors made me put in storage when we put our house up for sale or the MANY bags of fabrics I gave away before and after moving you would not say I have just enough stuff. I try to stay out of stores because I can't pass up fabric that I just can't possibly do without. I'm now trying to learn to live on a fixed income with no nice paychecks to blow on fabric and scrapbook stuff. I keep saying I need to find another job-but who has the time. LOL

quiltluvr 04-08-2010 11:47 AM

Very nice and cheery. Have fun and let the creativity flow!

paintedquilt 04-08-2010 11:51 AM

You are my kindered spirit :thumbup: I was just downstairs folding fabric and rearranging my shelves :oops: :oops:

NorBanaquilts 04-08-2010 12:04 PM

Please, please, please come do mine!!!!
It looks awesome!

It's 10' x 12' It is our second bedroom. When we first moved here 2 yrs ago I also had a day bed in there for the grandkids but sold it this winter for more room. They can sleep on the air mattress when they come. I really needed separate table for my sewing machine.

What a great sewing space!

roseOfsharon 04-08-2010 12:20 PM

Goodness, I would say you have a right organized room there! Nice to have such a space to incorporate so many of your crafting things!

Bevanger 04-08-2010 01:31 PM

VERY AWESOME

Chele 04-08-2010 01:32 PM

I could have fun in there! I'd clean up when I was finished! ;)

brushandthimble 04-08-2010 01:36 PM

Somebunny 04-08-2010 09:27 PM

Thanks for showing your room! I love to see how other quilters utilize space and it's just fun to see.

dglvr 04-08-2010 10:30 PM

Oh my goodness. Does that mean you haven't been sewing?
Very nice sewing room. That belongs in a magazine or something. :D

Nanjun 04-09-2010 03:42 AM

A beautiful room......You are so well organized

Sunny Days 04-09-2010 04:17 AM

Wow! I am sure beautiful projects come from that room.

Dorothy of Kansas 04-09-2010 05:24 AM

I like it!!! You are very organized...can you come to my house and get me organized??? Maybe then I wouldn't buy two of things, because I couldn't find it in my sewing room!!

sewcrafty 04-09-2010 06:20 AM

Beautifully done!!! Boy my areas need a boost!! One question, how long will it stay this way? :lol: :lol:

gramquilter2 04-09-2010 06:27 AM
