Sometimes after a few big projects I get in the mood to change my quilt room around a bit. I’m pretty limited anymore by the built-in shelves but I did move the white shelf unit to a different spot and moved all my books and magazines off of it.
I decided to put my UFO’s right across from where I sew………..maybe this way I’ll start working on them. I’ve got a new bolt of muslin, a bolt of Warm & Natural and two 15-91 Singer sewing machines nice and handy. Actually the bolt of batting is in our bedroom behind a door….worked great for the last bolt.
There are the meat containers that I showed you here…oops…..I think I still have a couple of empty containers.
Here you can see just a couple of the projects I have started and have no idea why I haven’t finished them!
Here is what I decided to do with my quilt magazines….inside the cupboard. The ones that are opened….probably patterns I just had to make. Notice the cork-board on the inside of the doors, I’m surprised there isn’t anything pinned on them. I have cork-board on the fronts of all the cabinet doors too……lots of stuff pinned there.
My quilt books went into another cupboard. The little cubbyholes below have charm packs, rulers and other miscellaneous things in them. The cabinets were originally made for a office so some wire paper trays from the Dollar Store fit perfectly.
This is the last top cupboard which holds my Sizzix dies, sewing machine supplies and coffee cups for mug rugs. I only use a small pad for ironing, when I need to work on something bigger I go out to the other room.
I have showed my room at different times and you can find more photos here: Mess in my quilt room or if you want to see inside the other cupboards and my fabrics click my remodel here.
Found another link – my cleaned up room and fabrics here.

Hello! I'm Connie Kresin Campbell, I love to create and share quilt tutorials, patterns and more. I hope you will enjoy your visit at Freemotion by the River and find inspiration and goodies. 
I love that you use old metal machines! Me and many of my friends have all ditched our $3000 plastic cadillacs for old metal machines in the past year or so. They are such a pleasure to sew on! Hugs! Amie :0)
I love the results of my own reorganizing, and yours looks fantastic!
Love your space. I love things neatly stacked! Yours is super!
Hello, Connie! Love to see your sewing room! Very inspiring!
It makes me wonder how you fixed all your rulers in place? Do they have little holes??
Always a pleasure to visit your blog!
I love to see storage ideas; there's something inspirational about seeing organized spaces. Thanks for sharing!
I love looking at other quilter's spaces. The meat trays for UFOs is a brilliant idea! Everything looks so neat and tidy! 🙂
Pretty awesome! I love being able to switch stuff around in my office!!
Love some of your ideas for your room. I like that you have the projects visibal in containers. Maybe I would get more done?? Have a great weekend.
Could you come and organize my space??? I need help!

WOWZER, but you are organized. I think I'd better fly you out here to Calif so you can wave your talents around my disorganized room… it would be so nice to create in a room that isn't filled with chaos! lol. All kidding aside, your room looks really great! Thanks for sharing it.
wonderful and organized room to create! I was wondering if you use your Sizzix for cutting fabric? I have one for scrapbooking, but never have used it for cutting fabric.
Thanks!
You are very well organized , a place for everything and everything in its place 🙂
Thanks for the studio tour…I love your space!
You don't even want to see the misery of my mess, believe me!! LOL
I love to organize and see posts about others who do the same. Your sewing space is wonderfully set up and organized. I may steal your idea of using meat trays, how clever. Have a very happy sewing day!
Isn't it fun to straighten up our nests occasionally? I love to clean up and even clean out to make room for some new toys :*) Your room looks exactly how I would have imagined – organized and prepared for any kind of fun that might pop up!
Thanks for the ideas for organizing and storing! Your space looks grand with the new arrangement.
Love your sewing space – so neat and organised! I like the corkboard idea too.
It looks good and you are very organized. I have rearranged mine so many times and still haven't found the 'perfect' solution. And I'm like Kiera – it only takes a day or so after cleaning up for everything to look like a war zone again. I like your meat tray idea.
You are so organized – I'm jealous. Makes me want to clean up my room
Connie, such a great idea. It drives my husband crazy everytime I find a new container to use in my sewing room.
Your space looks great. So light!
looks great connie. are you all inspired now? can you really use a bolt of muslin? for? foundation blocks?
Your storage ideas are really great – your room looks a nice place to escape to!
Nicely organized and tidy…time to start something new?
An organized room is a wonderful thing.
so lovely and tidy Connie.xx
Thank you for the tour. I really like your meat tray idea for keeping projects together in one place. Great idea 🙂
Love the corkboard idea and you are wonderfully organized!
