If I clean as I go and put things away as I use them then the clutter doesn't acumulate.
After finishing each project I clean/oil my machine and vacuum
the carpets. I fill out information in my journal. If its a charity quilt and I have quilted it I take a picture for my journal.
If I will be taking it to my longarm quilter I wili hang the quilt/backing up in the closet.
So when I start a new quilt my sewing room is clean
and I'm ready to sew.

I keep my sewing room cleaned up as I go. Putting rulers away after cutting. Making sure threads get in the trash, etc.If I clean as I go and put things away as I use them then the clutter doesn't acumulate.

My sewing room needs a good cleaning. I have already come across stuff I won't use. Sometimes I just wonder, what was I thinking.
I know the yarn will go for sure.

Same here, I cannot stand a room in disarray, sometimes it means no quilting gets done till the room get clean even in the middle of a project. At least I get some thinking and planning doen while I am doing it, and nearly always find something that had gone missing.lol :-DOriginally Posted by bamamama
During a project my room is a mess, but I clean and organize after every project. Like cleansing the pallet before tasting a different wine.

I got the whole garage ready for a garage sale a few years ago. i had all these table in there and it took a long time cleaning things from the house and shed and boxes. it was nice weather and then when I was all ready with the boxes made for advertiseing, it turned bad weather and started to rain and snow. So for the next few weeks I shopped at my own sale and kept bringing things back in the house. Crazy!!!! There is not much shopping in this small town so I shopped at my own garage sale. Please don't tell anybody.

We bought a new house a few months ago and I am still trying to get organized. We have a trip planned for Pheonix in May and the saving has already begun ... my Lady for clothing and mine for the fabric shops. Luckily - she likes to help me and is an enabler in the fabric store. What a gal !!!
