And so...we continue on our journey to discover the 7 Highly Effective Habits of a Quilter which leads us to #2...Organize Beautifully!

It is one thing to have an organized sewing space, but it is another when you take it to another level and beautify that organization. I believe that when one keeps beauty as the primary goal of organization, you create a space that calls to you...makes you want to be there...which leads to more productivity. There are a gazillion ways to organize, but only one way that speaks to you, and letting yourself figure out what that way is...well, that is the Feng Shui of your quilting heart.

Whether it be Country, Modern, Primitive, Cute or Bright, you will want to embrace what you love and start organizing from there. After all, it is your space! Most importantly, how it works for your brain, LOL.

I love how Twilene and her Sister-in-Law discovered space in the eaves of her sewing room to create a built-in shelving area! If you ever watch a house being built, there are many unused areas that can provide alternative shelving areas.


Decorating and organizing, while embracing the part of the color wheel you love, creates a space that calls you to come and stay awhile. I have seen these old sewing table drawers in antique shops, but it never occurred to me to paint them to coordinate in my sewing space! Leslie does a beautiful job in making her space reflect what she loves...who would have thought to use thread in such a beautiful way?!

Using just a bit of your favorite stash as a display vignette can not only make you happy, but will remind you of a project you have going, LOL. I love the way the wool is displayed in a cabinet that you see displaying wine in a store!

As we bump along on our Quilt Roadie journey, I continue to seek out quilters and shops, picking up ideas for how quilters live and create! Remember, Bee Beautifully Organized!
