Thank you for all of you for sharing your tips. I learned a few things today.

My three top tips are:
(1)Before I start a new project, I clean up my sewing room; seeing a cleared table makes me feel good and makes organizing my next project easier.
(2)Spend some time in my sewing room every day. I may not accomplish much, but it helps me relax.
(3) Keep my tools organized and return them to the same place as soon as I use them. I have a coffee mug for scissors and rotary cutters; another for pens, marking pencils, rippers, specific area for rulers, another for cutting mats. No more wasted time looking through that mess on my sewing table on a specific tool.

For my starter pieces, I keep a stack of 2 1/2" squares of various pastel colored fabric by my sewing machine that I sew together. The twosies can be easily turned in to four patch squares, etc. Before I know it I have a nice start for the small baby quilts I make for our drug baby care facility. Every so often I take time to put the sets together, a nice mindless activity on those days when thinking about a specific pattern is more than my mind can handle.

What a fabulous idea GallopingButterfly. I will do that and see how quickly I can get a little quilt made. I had to laugh at your suggestion of putting tools back where they belong. I too, am for ever using my hands to find lost tools amongst the fabrics - it's an ouch when I find the unprotected rotary cutter!! Will I ever learn?

Cheerio for now
