All of the above mentioned. Most of all the disdain of those who couldn't make a quilt or any other sewn item if their lives depended on it yet turn up their nose at our creativity.

I would get rid of getting old. Quilters should live 'forever'. there are just to many quilts to make.

Thank you! I have a system, and when everything is where it should be it's nicely organized and tidy, and everything is easy to find, but my system doesn't require me to put everything back the second I am finished with it - everything finds its way back, eventually

I probably do a once a month binge cleaning job to get everything back in order - it takes me at most, 20 or 30 minutes, and a fair amount of that time is spent rearranging things or consolidating things like needles as they get used up - there's no sense in having 4 packs of the same kind with one needle left in each.

Personally, in the middle of the creative process, I find stopping to tidy up or reorganize a HUGE distraction - I'd rather just keep making progress, and make up for my lack of neatness later

That's exactly why someone invented those magnetic pin pick up stick thingies, right?
