When we first bought our house 14 years ago, I had the smallest bedroom for my sewing room. At that time I was sewing for my 2 & 5 yr.old DD's, shorts, pj pants, nightgowns, summer dresses, etc.(mostly matching items).
They shared a room and had bunk beds. So then my oldest turned 13 and decided she wanted her own room (how dare her). That was the end of MY room, now my stuff shares our bedroom. :(
Now she's almost 19, when she gets mad and threatens to move out I say "Great! I get my sewing room back! We'll just stick your bed in your sisters room in case you come to visit!" She's always ready to stay home after that! Lol :)

Unfortunately, most of us don't have enough money to own a separate home just to do quilting.

how funny :) I was thinking similar thoughts about wall space. I want to have really high ceilings with big wide spaces to hang lots of quilts but my SO, the engineer, says it's "i-n-e-f-f-i-c-i-e-n-t.
I said I-d-o-n-'t...c-a-r-e-!

Yes, I saw that show on HGTV . I don't think she had a DH, either. Just keep on dreaming .... Someday, someday, someday, just maybe!

I did keep searching for a shot of her stash...but they never did show it! She had huge closets for stacking stash!
It was fun to dream..... :)

We live in a 3 bedroom house. One of them is my and DH's bedroom. The other 2 were our children's rooms. They are now grown and moved out a few years ago. I took over both rooms...one for my sewing room and one for my quilting room (hand quilting frame!) LOL
