Yes. We all have that problem. On magazines I have been getting the DVDs on back issues and that has helped my urge to keep old magazines.

The only way my sewing area stays neat and organized is for me to never go in there to accomplish any quilting. Once in there, all bets are off!

Yes, but so was my classroom when I taught 4th grade, there were 5 teachers in space for 3. So space was a premium. My closet is also a little disorganized, I guess I'm just a "messy".

I tidy up after each time I sew. I may leave what I'm working on, on top of the sewing machine and I may have threads on the floor but the room is always neat. I have some odds and ends stuffed in the closet but at least it's out of sight and the room always looks decent. I can't sew in a mess.

I have a very small room with limited floor and wall space. I at least straighten up after each project or it would be a total mess all the time. When I have something going on there will be strands of thread on the floor, pieces of fabric, etc laying around. This weekend after I finish a job I'm working on I'll straigthen up and then have some embroidery to work on while I chose the fabric for my Happy Daisy quilt that will be a tribute to my sons dog who died this yr of old age but last yr saved his whole house from a burning house that had to be rebuilt from the bottom up. Her name was Daisy and I plan on putting a picture of her on the back with the lable.

Creativity is MESSY business. Especially when I have more than one quilting project going at all times. Currently my quilting and sewing space looks as if a tornado visited it. You are not alone. Having more space would just mean I would fill it up and end up in the same condition. Hopeless here.

I think quilting is the messiest craft there is! So many supplies to keep track of... threads... scraps... you name it!

Using bins and containers for projects and supplies makes a big difference for me. It makes cleanup quicker which means that I am much more likely to use them (elaborate storage for me means I don't use it!). Drawers and using every inch of closet space helps me too. I find that when my surfaces get cluttered I avoid my room!
