    I love looking at pictures of everyone's sewing space - so I thought I'd better show mine in return! It's not always this neat; I've been making some room for new fabric coming in and I had to pack up the D1 for a class last night.



    The is the whole room view from the computer corner. There is a computer hooked up to the flat screen so we can watch movies & quilting shows over the internet. The tv is sitting on top of my Singer Touch & Sew cabinet with lots of storage space.

    My computer workspace. I love this corner unit because it has a spot for everything (with the help of a couple of Command hooks!)

    DH's space, kitty corner from the computer corner (and under the stairs hee hee.) He uses the Scandinavia 400, and I found that the cover I made for the D1 with the embroidery unit attached fits the 400 with the quilters table (and the PE-700 too!)

    More pics!

    This is my main sewing area, and my D1 (that hasn't been unpacked from class last night.) I love the light from the window, and the computer table has 2 drawers I put to good use.

    This should prove I'm really not a neat-nick! The holder on the wall is one of the first things I made, and I admit it gets a lot of use. I have my stabilizer holder, a couple of bolts, and lots of little stuff here I haven't found a better home for yet.

    Last batch! As you can see, the living room and dining room wrap around in a funky L shape, and I've taken most of it over :lol: DH says no fabric on the stove and he's okay with the rest, bless his heart! Thanks for letting me share my space with you! (Now if the UPS guy would just get here already....!)

    Some people would call this a dining room! I use the top of the buffet for cutting, pressing small items and such. The Brother PE-700 is sitting on top of my Singer Red Eye treadle machine (and amachine riser made by DH.)

    This is the quality control team - always underfoot and ready to fetch whatever dropped that they aren't supposed to have! They look industrious, don't they?

    The other combo unit - Both of these drawers have sewing patterns in them that I have transferred to manilla envelopes; the pattern envelopes are filed in the notebooks by the quilting books.

    Great space! Your buffet is a great addition to your room, very useful! I love your quality control team. They know just where to lay don't they?! Mine are always under my table. I have to move them off my foot pedal to sew. :roll:

    Roben-You have a great quilting space. You have really maximized every inch! I love all the windows and light you have.

    Your husband said no fabric ON the stove---but did he say anything about storing some IN the oven???? Just a thought for overflow!! :D
