Ironing Station

 Did I mention that I am taking part in Just Get It Done Quilts' Decluttering Challenge?

I have seen the photos some participants have posted.  I immediately think  "hoarders" TV show but that is very judgemental on my part.  It also seems the more room you have, the more you are able to hoard clutter.

My sewing "room" is fairly small - one half of my bedroom.  I have two tables which we shlepped from Israel 33 years ago (the 3rd table is in Doron's room).  One I use for my sewing machine and the second is my cutting table.

With the Torah Tie Project I am currently working on, every time I made a quilt or quilt back, I had to transfer them from the design wall to the bed and at night onto my cutting table and back and forth.  In the meantime, I had a standard ironing board which is great but all the space under it is wasted space.

So Menachem made me an ironing table which is as long as my previous ironing board and twice as wide, and it sits on an IKEA kallax unit.  I now have where to store the TTP pieces, and my other UFOs.  I am still in the process of trying to use every inch of space by getting better organized.  He also made me this shelf under my cutting table.

Call me happy.
