After many years with this quilting bug - and my children gone (just me in the house) my sewing room is now located in two rooms. On each table I have a pretty pot of pencils, pens, markers, etc. I have scissors everywhere - but one needs to stay on the actual sewing table ( easier if you just have one machine like I do) and one on the ironing board. One on both of the cutting tables, two in the kitchen .... you get the idea. Two seam rippers. Three cutting boards - plus a couple of little ones... I have a skinny little chest of drawers that hold thread not currently in use - and spools beyond number in pots and on tables and.... Yeah - out of control. But when the phone rings, I have to get up. Look at the good side - you're moving!
