    My studio looks like a bomb exploded when I'm working, luckily I have a friend who visits fairly often and she will calmly refold fabrics that are all over the work table, floor and any other surface available and put them back on a shelf. She is a neat freak and I am not, at least not when I'm working on a project. It works both ways, she gets to fondle my fabric and I get it folded and back on the shelf. Of course she then knows what I have, so if she needs a piece of fabric she knows who to call. Works great for us.

    Yes, right now it does, but if I am starting a new project, I have to get the whole place organized first. I need some semblance of order, to create.

    Oh yes! a bomb just went off in my sewing roon this weekend ! I made a new design wall last week, and it's 6ftx8ft. It dawned on me ( while I was laying awake w/ insomnia) that I could quickly and easily 'fix' the HST I have left over from the siggies block swap; I want to use the corners on the backing... so.... I tried the techique, don't know why it took me all these years to use the corner of my ruler to square up the folded HST !!!???? Any way... I have some of those on the wall, some English paper piecing I'm doing and Jinny byers 'woven ribbons' quilt I'm making for my sister, and the left overs from the Jinny byers quilt will be a companion quilt, all on the design wall. So, 4 quilts in progress means 4 times the bits & pieces , instructions, tape, rulers..... Plus someone didn't put the laptop away after they used it, so it's on the work station too. WOW

    Wow, this one popped up just for me! I watched the Hoarders on Sunday and decided it is time to make some changes in my sewing room and am in the process of folding all my fabric into neat orderly piles and putting them neatly onto their shelf in color order even light to dark, and throwing away things that I don't need or use. I think I will want to spend more time in my sewing room when I am done.

    Several years ago I had a non-sewing friend help me organize some rooms. I redid my sewing room and she helped me clean it out and start over. She couldn't understand why I needed so many rulers and so much fabric and why everything had to be out in the open. I just smiled and told her not to worry about it. She came over later and commented that it didn't do much good to clean it up - it was messy again. Again, I smiled and told her it works for me. However, I do wish I had more than 1 square foot to user on my cutting table as someone else mentioned!

    I try to keep my sewing room clean it's in my basement and my laundry room is nearby. If I go down and start sewing I sometimes act like I'm doing laundy and it's funny how no one bothers you when laundry is involved. Or I sometimes look mad and no one ask questions then.

    That happens in my house whether I am in the middle of a project or NOT in the middle of a project. So you are ahead of me by a longshot!
