    Good golly Miss Molly! I want to come play at your house too! I love how you have it all so organized. That must have taken quite a bit of your time. I'm with some of the others, what I would give to have that kind of space. Actually, any space at the moment would do. I have plenty of fabric and no place left to sew. Congrats on your accomplishment, it was well earned!

    I am not in business. I got the accucut studio after my husband saw the system at an aqs show in Nashville and decided I needed that. I didn't buy at the show and he kept on after we got home so I said you buy it, and he did. I feel so blessed and I share my equipment with my quilting buddies. If you look closely, a lot of my furniture is repurposed. My cutting table is an old library table my mom got when a local high school closed. It is set on 2 by 4's glued together and routed out where the legs fit. after i got the ikea shorter units, I asked a friend to put a board on the table that would extend over the shelves, so I can cut those long borders. The storage underneath were acquired at a garage sale for $5 and just fit underneath the table. The desks beside my sewing area are tables my son scavaged from a nail salon that went out of business. My ironing board is a board screwed to the top of my mom's old ironing board. You know those older metal boards were so much sturdier than the new ones today. It has been a process over the last 5 years.

    I occasionally will quilt for a friend, but am always afraid I will mess it up. I make quilts for the joy of making them and give them away to family or donate to my church or when grandkids need something for an auction. Because I am so blessed, I share what I have with my quilting friends. they gather at my home and we sew together. It is my hobby that has turned into a passion for the craft. I learned a long time ago that if I am productive, I have to have order and good tools. It helps that my DH of 48 yrs tells me his purpose in life is to keep me happy. He's done a great job! LOL I have been reading these posts for a long time. I love the pictures of the quilts and have saved the pictures of many and this was my first post. Thank you all for all the encouraging comments. I will post some of my quilts that this space has produced.

    My Ambien ( I take it because my husband snores and a I am a light sleeper) which makes me have wild dreams, so when I saw your studio, I thought I must be dreaming!! What a fantasy sewing room! My room is 10 x 12 so yours is truly a "dream" to me!!!

    Wow! Your room looks great. Wish I had a big room like yours...doubt it would be this organized because I can destroy a sewing room in less than 15 minutes. I bet it makes you happy being able to see your beautiful fabrics.

    For those who want to visit: what is your favorite coffee? Will someone else bring some goodies? What a treat to have space like that!
