Thank you, Michelle. I always feel better and more creative when clutter is out of my way.
You are welcome! I feel better and more creative also!
Hello from Russia, I'm watching a playlist on the organization of the workroom. A very useful video. thanks.
Wow! Welcome to my channel!
I love these ideas about getting "stuff"out of my sewing room. I have been using it for storage and that takes up valuable space.
Yes it does!!!
It was nice to see I'm not the only one who uses the gum containers to throw my pins, needles, rotary blades and other sharp items into before they go to the main trash container.
I use them all the time!
It’s so nice of you to donate your items. Someone will appreciate them!
Yes, I agree!
Love that farm quilt behind you.
I reuse empty drinks containers (Ovaltine) as a sharps bin and glass coffee or cute jam jars for buttons.
Great tip! Thank you for sharing!
Michelle that was. Lot of great tips. Thanks for sharing! I just wanted to comment on how absolutely beautiful your fishing quilt is!!! Your hubby’s expression shows just how much he loves and appreciates all the work you’ve put into it! Cheers from FL😺
Thank you so much!
I have donated so many quilt books but before I parted with them, I scanned the one or two patterns in them and stored them in my quilting file on my computer. I was amazed at how many magazines/books did not have a pattern I thought I would ever make and getting rid of those shelves of magazines and books made such a huge difference! (I also purge the computer file periodically because, as we know, we don't always keep loving what we loved "back then"!
Colleen, What a great idea! Years ago I would cut out a pattern I liked then put it in a binder. Guess how many of those quilts I ever went back and made? If you guessed 0 you are correct! I still love to read the quilt magazines though and will continue to read them! I keep my magazines limited to one rack and when it is full, something has to go!! Thank you for sharing!
Your ideas will work in many other places in your house. Thanks for great ideas
Glad you like them!
Thank you for your advice! I've done some of these ideas but it is a continuous process. Thanks again!
You are most welcome!! It is ongoing for sure!
My granddaughter is getting my very first sewing machine. She is making a pillow case. Her first project.
That is wonderful!!!
Great tips!! Thanks sooo much!! Remember to gather quilting items around the house and bring them back to your Quilt Room as you decide what to keep & what to donate.
That’s a great tip! Thanks!
Now when you tell me I have to much stuff in my sewing, 😮, I only buy ALLLLLL the things I “might” need. 😂😂😂😂. You are so right about to much stuff. It’s just so hard to pull out/discard/give away I don’t know why, but I always hear my mother saying, “keep this, you might need it one day”. 😬😬. Thank you so much for giving me permission to purge. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOL! How funny! It is hard to let it go but the money has been spent and is gone! I am hoping to reduce what I purchase this year also! I say that every year but I do not like to waste money! I still have tons of beautiful fabrics and kits! As well as scraps! I want to try to finish more UFOs this year too! Thanks for your comments! I think you will feel better once you have gone through and removed some of these items from your room!

OMG Sherry, hearing your Mother saying, “keep this, you might need it one day,” rings so true to me. Actually of both my parents. I think for them it was because they were raised during the depression. They thrived by reusing, repurposing, and just using the unwanted item to repair another item. Which probably explains why I’m a borderline hoarder when it comes to crafting supplies. I can clearly remember while growing up, the first tv we had broke (old tv tube type b&w model) well they certainly didn’t see a reason to get rid of it, instead they used it as a tv stand. They put the new tv right on top of the old one! Never hiding what it was sitting on. When friends came over they thought we were super rich because we had 2 TVs!😂😂😂 Good luck in your decluttering journey. I think the only way I’m going to be able to get rid of anything is if the people who film the Hoarders tv show comes knocking on my door 😂😂😂 Cheers from FL😺
I know this is over a year ago and I just came upon this video. Thank you for doing it and keep on any changes. We moved from a house where my quilt room was 15x14. It is 8x8. I have quilting stuff in storage totes that I have yet to unpack. I did thin out my magazines and books. I also looked through fabrics and some totes. I found UFOs that I forgot about. However, I still like them and intend on finishing them. I have a large glass doors bookcase (2 doors) where we had some books. We purged books and now I store quilts in it. I have another lawyer bookcase where I store quilts and an 83” ladder with 6 rungs. I have quilts hanging on it. But, I still need ideas. Thanks.
You have some great options for storing your quilts! I think storing them in a bookcase with glass doors is great! Be sure to protect them from the oils in the wood though! I bet it looks awesome!
You're right! Your video makes so much sense. Everyone of those categories - I have something I can purge. It does get to be too much and your video has helped me to see the light. Thank you!
That’s great! I hope you can get some stuff cleared out! Less time for managing all our stuff means more time for quilting!
This is a really good video!!!! Don’t you buy no ugly fabric😂😂😂😂😂. Love you💕💕
Thanks Wes!🥰
Thanks for the jump start! Just what I needed to get myself going!
Sometimes we need a little boost! You will be surprised at what all you will be able to clear out of your quilt room! A tidier space helps me to be more productive!
Well Michelle you have gotten me started! Great ideas for decluttering 👌❤🐝🐛🦕🦖
Way to go Fern!!!! You will be amazed at how much you can clear out!
Great ideas shared. Thank you for sharing these.
Mary, Thank you for watching my video! I hope this helps you in your quilt room!
I have come back to quilting after many years of doing other things. My room is small and i donot have as much clutter as yet but will use you tips in a preventative manner. I found however that my family used my quilting room to wrap Christmas gifts this year and i am still finding things like gift tags and ribbons. Thanks again.
Just try your best! That is all we can do! Welcome back to quilting!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! It is true that I have too much. I am in a major declutter mode and have come to realize that it is one small step at a time. Each of your tips are perfect. They have addressed many aspects of my clutter that I was unsure of it being okay to part with. Most importantly, your bonus tip of how it is okay to let go of the broken machines. I have wondered for a long time what to do with them. Sometimes I have worked on other machines and used the old one for parts. Your helpful video has opened up the door to freedom in my quilt room. Thank you! Blessings to you!
Irene,
I’m so glad this video was helpful!! It is one small step at a time and ongoing! The more clutter you remove, the easier it becomes to manage your quilting space/room!
I have had a tiny sewing room for 2 years and it is still a work in progress. I find the large square boxes work for medium size blocks and supplies (michael's/dollar tree) I use the muffin holders from dollar tree kitchen section. These have a clear lid and hold small blocks and strips, etc. The top is clear so you can see inside. Those items have helped me become more organized. I really enjoy your videos and always learn something new from them.
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos! Thank you!
Happy New Year Michelle. Hope you had a nice and enjoyable 2weeks. I have started to go through my stash and purge. It does sting a little bit 🥴🤪😂 of the monies spent, but a very valuable and eye opening process. Some of the REALLY ugly fabric I’m using to stuff the pet beds I make. Then other I’m making kennel blankets. The 3rd group will be donated to others that are wanting to learn quilting. I find your honesty refreshing. Have a great week. Peggers
Hey Peg! The money is spent and gone so try not to let that upset you. Perhaps it will help us to better control what we purchase though! Thanks for watching my videos! I enjoy getting your comments!!
Great ideas! I think I will go item by item to declutter to make it easy. You mentioned items I have but never saw as a problem. Thank you and Happy New Year 💐
All those little things added quite a bit of clutter to my quilt room! The less stuff we have to manage the more time we have for other things we prefer to do!
Great video❣️ I actually started purging a month ago and though some may think getting rid of fancy rulers may not be a good idea BUT the ability to make quilts that are more labor intensive is my Fantasy self and then when I look at them the rulers are yelling at me - saying negative words (I know I need to stay with simpler cute patterns - now)😬 too much fabric (especially the ugly stuff) also talk at me…thank you for this video. 😁👍🏻
You will feel so much better when you have an organized decluttered space!!!
Karen Brown from "Just Get it Done Quilts" has a RUclips video on how to use ugly fabrics. She has some great ideas .
Thanks for sharing!
Those were some good ideas. I love your granddaughters quilt hanging behind you. Is that made from panels ?
Yes I made that quilt with a panel.
All I have got rid of so far are four old sewing machines. My Grand-daughter is going to help with the other stuff.
That’s a big start!!!!
Old pens-the grandkids had a ball testing pens and they laughed every time they could ‘slam dunk’ one into the trash.
I bet they had fun!
I save plastic shoeboxesjkk and clear plastic jars
Good deal!
