My OCD Is Kicking In....

I admire people who can be organized. I prefer the rifling through piles of stash for just the right color and then changing in the middle of that search to a totally different pattern. I'm sure there is a term for that too. lol

I guess I'm a neat freak............I use plastic bins, everything is in color order, material that I've chosen for specific quilts are bagged, tagged and cc's of pattern with it. The "grab and go" quilt ideas have their own storage cabinet. Working on the design wall, that was a conundrum where to put it (?), then turned to answer a question by DH and realized my door was like WAVING at me, yeah, work's like a champ! Refrigerator box lined with felt, and tacked up and expandable, zippo bucks as I already had that............and removable to boot. All my notions are in an old physicians cabinet. Next is the ironing table next to machine, and a solid wood doors to elongate my work space behind and beside where I sew (more plastic bins and wood goodies for my DH to build! Nothing like zipping around in my chair to wherever or whatever I need!

Thank you, I love those printables!!!!! But I can't edit them - can you? I wanted to erase the "Project Title", so I could put my name on the sheet. Oh well... I know I will never get "caught up" - my dilemma is who do I 'will' all of my stuff to???! My daughters and DIL are not sewers - and I just don't understand how this can be.... But hopefully these papers will help me accomplish much more; am looking forward to it! Thanks again for sharing.

I also use the two gallon bags to keep all related pieces together. I refuse to admit how many of those bags I have on the grounds it might tend to incriminate me!

I will have to check out the printables, when I have a printer!

I had no problem with either the pdf or the Word document. You have to have Office on your computer in order to open the Word document, but the pdf is an editable file too. Just click on the blue highlighted boxes and you should be able to type in your own.

Hope that helps....

Rosie, thanks for the link. I never dreamed there was anything that good out there.

The problem was that I hadn't "saved" it first, then gone in to change it and print.
Thanks again, so much!!
