Make your sewing work station an "L" shape. Your sewing machine should be in front of you and lower your ironing board to the level of your seated position so you can just swing around to iron and back to sew, if need be. This will save a lot of time.
Also, make sure you have adequate lighting while you sew. They make wonderful sun like bulbs, that not only give off clear light, it's the full spectrum light of the sun, so you can see the real colors, instead of having to go outside to judge the true color of the fabrics in your quilt.

I found you from a comment you left on Amy's Calico Cat blog. Your slide show of quilts you have made is very nice. A large variety of different quilts, all exquisitely made.
Although if you have to get up and walk to the ironing board, you have then exercised so you can eat those cream puffs calling to you without feeling guilty. LOL
Hi, I am new to you site and fairly new to quilting. Nice to have found you. I enjoy reading your posts.
