I have been trying, though not very hard, to move sewing stuff from one bedroom to another for almost a year, so don't think yours is a mess--just ride to La Place and see mine!<br />LorettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-76063286305637603312013-01-03T12:31:51.008-06:002013-01-03T12:31:51.008-06:00I showed these pictures to my husband to prove tha...I showed these pictures to my husband to prove that I am not the only one with a messy quilting room! He said, "Those pictures look like they could have been taken at our house! She even has the same laundry basket holding her supplies!" I feel vindicated and you should know that I have spent the last several days SLOWLY working on my quilting room clean-up. I take ONE thing (basket, plastic bag, shelf, etc.) and only focus on it. DO NOT LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE, WHATEVER YOU DO!!! One area will get cleaned/thrown away/ironed/organized, etc. It really works miracles! I have an area of floor that I can see and fabric that is folded and put away on shelves. I still have several more laundry baskets (mostly scraps) and tons of quilting books to find a shelf for, but it is coming together! WE CAN DO IT!\<br />Triciathe arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913283083812288705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-48842254168298232382013-01-03T09:48:45.919-06:002013-01-03T09:48:45.919-06:00Send the quilt fairies over to my house when they&...Send the quilt fairies over to my house when they're done with you, I have a mess also.<br /><br />BUT my mantra has always been - Creative Clutter is Better Than Idle Neatness<br /><br />(Or the ever popular - Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow) .............

I am fighting the same battle. I actually abandon a project before I get started because when I see all the stuff I need to move, or climb over and nearly break neck, I decide not to do it. I saw a funny story relating to this: An old quilter died, and when her husband and children were clearing out her stuff they came upon a big bag full of scraps. Written on it was - too small to do anything with!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-29519982472140342982013-01-02T13:28:16.937-06:002013-01-02T13:28:16.937-06:00I totally understand your pain.

I want to move everything out and then only put back what I really really really like. But then I have to look at everything and pass judgement on it and well..... I put the whole thing off for another time. Right now I hope to just clear off the table long enough to trim a quilt. I'm gonna settle for little victories -- good luck- and if the quilting fairies do stop by tell them I'm available anytime for a visit!carol funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602159377334420359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-22394937548516297922013-01-02T12:46:01.589-06:002013-01-02T12:46:01.589-06:00When I was off for the holidays I spent some of my...When I was off for the holidays I spent some of my time cleaning up the studio and the fabric storge room. Turn on some music and just started. Once I got into it I didn't want to stop! I found stuff I forgot about and found stuff I was looking for. I am glad I spent the time doing it.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-78720624826753409642013-01-02T12:36:23.638-06:002013-01-02T12:36:23.638-06:00I'm right there with you!

[note: not for the whole year]:<br />Straighten/reorganize ONE bookcase of fabric/projects.<br /><br />I have FIVE bookcases, so I freeze whenever I think I have to do ALL of it. And, like you, I have piles in front of each bookcase, so those have to be cleared away also.<br /><br />Try just one area. Try just 15 minutes a day?<br />Good luck.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208479319934460737noreply@blogger.com
