Where do you sew and quilt?
#71
I also turned my dining room table into a sewing room. I put up and take down the ironing board every night I get to sew because we live in a raised ranch and there's not a whole lot of space. I like to sew here because that way I am part of the family and no one will ever resent my quilting taking me away from them!

I have a sewing room in my basement. It is nothing special, but it is my room. I love the quiteness, no one to bother me, and most of all, I don't have to put anything away. When my children were growing up, I had to put everything away daily.

I have a corner of our unfinished basement. It isn't pretty but I have lots of room. My husband put together some lighting for me. I have an old t.v. with cable, a fireplace, and the bathroom and laundry room are right by me.

I sew and quilt (when I do) in my sewing room (oldest son's former bedroom). It's my haven, happy place, and retreat. Just turn on some good music, or the TV and lose myself for awhile. Sometimes I work so hard and forget it's meal time, but not very often. LOL

Monday night I learned how to paper piece so I brought my sewing machine in the family room on the sewing table in there, had to move hubby's recliner chair, so he sat on my recliner chair. I used 2 tv trays one for my pressing and the other one for my small cutting mat since I was paper piecing. I have a sewing room on the other end of house but no tv, no pc. ha ha
This summer I will be using the sun porch but we don't heat it in the winter time.
Okay who is next?

Not only did I move furniture around, I moved entire rooms around. I am single so it is just me and Punkin, my little dog. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. My real living room is now my sewing room with 4 machines set up and a cutting table, TV and computer. My real front bedroom is now my living room. The extra bedroom that I had used for my sewing room is now my bedroom. Boy do I love the change.

My DH did over the rec room . He made me a big sewing table. It's big enough to lay out my quilt on. I also have an area to do my stain glass and flower arrangement..I was in the corner of our office with very little room before.

I have turned our large master bedroom into my sewing and craft room since we moved our stuff into a small room. It is in the back part of the house that we don't keep heated much. Hate to pay the high electric bill. Since it has been so cold, I moved my sewing into the living room and use the dining area for my cutting and ironing. I like it better here because I have the tv, and I'm not alone. I really have enjoyed sewing in the LR but its hard to have people over. I find that I like to have some company, even if he is doing his own thing. Does anyone else hate to be alone when they sew and quilt? LOL
