same here, except older - 74
also way over on fabric, probably also over on machines,notions etc., but not dramatically
I have a quilt room, but fabric, machines have moved into bedroom, living room and two stairwells.
Lucikly I live alone

I'm not old enough - give me 5 years
I have a small bedroom for my "studio" (sounds fancy, huh?)
I have waaaayyyy less spent on notions, and equipment
I have waaaayyyy less in fabric too.
Looks like I've got to do some spending (I wish!) to catch up to the norm.

Is this you? I know I fall in that category. Give me your thoughts. :lol: :oops: :roll:

No. I'm under 50, sew on the dining room table and have way less in tools & supplies. No idea how much invested in fabric. I'm afraid I'm addicted to the good stuff, but do still have a bit that I didn't spend nearly as much for.

Finally a statistic where I am too young! But then I also don't have a sewing room, or enough fabric or "stuff". But I'm only 54, so I have a few years and some shopping to do!

Not me either. I am 31, sew on my dinning room table, I need more fabric and don't have all the tools I'd love to have.

I'm 69. I have a studio with a problem...My stuff has exploded out of it so there's quilting stuff in every room but the bathroom. I hate to admit I've spent that much, but I think I have.
