You did an awesome job in setting the entire space up to work well for you. So happy you have it just the way you want it, and just in time to get plenty of sewing done!

Enjoy :)

Thanks, Debbie. It continues to be a work in progress, as I have even more fabric offsite. Hard to believe how much you can accumulate in 50 yrs. of sewing and knitting! I just have too many interests! :)

You should never have to go shopping for material for about 10 years...

Wow, Peggy. At first I thought you must have raided a thread factory then I see that you've been quilting for 50 yrs or so. No wonder you've accumulated a ton of stuff :)

You have an awesome sewing room. I thought I had a lot of stash, but not now that I've seen yours. Enjoy this space.

Has a big bath ( I keep my batting in the shower stall!)and a small kitchenette for a small fridge, ice machine, microwave, small sink and hot water dispenser for making iced tea. Yes, in TX we drink iced tea all year long! I call my sewing space "my lair" and hubby knows when I disappear that is where I am likely to be. Does anyone have a method of storing scraps that keeps them flat? My two baskets overfloweth and it is a royal mess. I was trained by my quilting teacher ( a former first grade teacher who had infinite patience with me) to NEVER throw a scrap larger than a 2X2 away! I just cannot do it. Help! I am a a fabric junkie..............
