Many thanks to Sherri at A Quilting Life for hosting this productive and fun
series. The time it took to go through
everything in my sewing room and organize it was time well spent.
Here is the finish…
Day 11: Sort and Organize Quilting Books
Day 12: Sort and Organize Patterns
Day 13: Sort and Organize Magazines
I
possess very few of the above in hard copy but what I do have was placed in
these handy banker’s boxes and binders.
The embroidery designs that I have on CDs are stored in this little box.
Day 14: Plan Quilt Storage
This is
easy. If it is a table runner or topper
then it is kept in a drawer in my china cabinet. Larger quilts are kept in a
linen closet (you really do not want to see a picture of that right now).
Day 15: Make your shopping list
The
only items I needed were the bins I bought at Walmart to store
stabilizers and supplies for making bags.
Day 16: Take a final review
Here we
were to re-evaluate what would stay, what would go and also the lists we made
on Day 2. Well, I’m keeping everything…even
those rulers that I do not know what to do with. However, I did make a plan. I ‘calendared’ projects to be done, leaving
myself the weekends for something new.
I changed my mind about keeping zippers in the little wooden box. I took those and other notions that I do not use very often and organized those in a large Tupperware container.
Day 17: Donate or sell items you won’t use
Nothing
from me here J
Day 18: Revise your project “to do” list
I
simply ‘prioritized’ my list.
Day 19: Shop for needed items
Done
Day 20: Take an ‘after’ photo
Before:
After:
Now I am back in business. First up is a another project from my
favorite book…
Enjoy your weekend, you know where I will be J

Your space looks great.
Question: Is that one of the Dreamweaver machines from Brother? What do you love about it? Is there anything you dislike about it?

It looks great Jeanna! Doesn't it feel good to get things organized? I need to get in my craft room and finish cleaning it...I have literally been throwing stuff in and it has been a mess! I love that sewing machine...can you monogram with it? I want one of those some day! Hope your weekend is going great...:)
Blessings, Vicky
congrats on a job well done. looks great.
You have done an excellent job with your room, just beautiful. :-)
Doesn't it feel good when things have a place and kept in their place?
Enjoy!
Joy! Debbie
Bravo! Everything is out of the way and easy to get to! :-) Looking forward to seeing the progress on your next quilt!
Jeanna,
After seeing your organized space I finally realized what I need to get myself organized.... YOU! Can I borrow you, oh, say for about a week? Your space is so wonderfully organized. Often I cannot find what I am looking for and it is so frustrating!

Wow - I am SO impressed, Jeanna! You did a wonderful job and the calendar is genius! Think how many more projects you can get done now! Happy Sewing!
Cheers!
Nice work--love how you grouped the fabric together and the pegboard for tools, rulers, scissors
Well, your used your space very efficiently. Well done! You are a rare quilter. I can believe you didn't have anything to get rid of.
Love your space. Great job with all your organization. I wish I could get organized. My sewing area keeps moving. I did donate/giveaway a lot of stuff but they keep multiplying ;-/
Great job getting your sewing room organized! How do you keep it so neat?
It looks amazing, Jeanna. I hope it lasts longer than my tidying does! :o)
Congratulations! Your newly reorganized space is fabulous!
Wow! So organized.
My problem is that I get organized and then I start another project which messes things up again.
But, the creativity is so much fun!
Wow, so inspiring! I'm in the process of reorganizing my studio...which is usually a disaster. It's not a terrible disaster but not as nice as I'd like it to be. The problem is....Some of my best ideas come from random pieces sitting next to each other.....and like ArtandSand....all it takes is one project to mess it all up again... :)
My sewing room will never look so nice. I have way too much crammed in the room.
I really enjoyed watching you get organized! But now I have sewing room envy! LOL
Your sewing space is looks great! I have been organizing mine when I have spare time. You have inspired me so maybe tomorrow I can finish up what little I have to do!
Hugs,
Donna
