When we moved into our 1924 Victorian, I thought I wanted my studio to be an upstairs bedroom which was 12x15. That is until it got too hot from the summer heat. We moved in January of 2010, and by July, I had had enough and was relocating it to the dining room downstairs. It was a little bigger at 15x15. We didn't have a dining room suite yet, so why not? Now, it seems I'm outgrowing that room and have decided that I want to use the master bedroom which is a spacious 13x25. We weren't using it except for closet space because it needs work on the floor. But if I fall through, I fall through! lol I'm willing to risk it to have more room for sewing. Thought you might enjoy the pics - I've only just begun painting on the new shop, yellow on the ceiling (yes, ceiling) and it will have a paler yellow on the walls with hopefully some stencil work here and there. I'll let you know how it turns out.

My current sewing room is 7x8', so I am jealous. Actually, when I was married to my ex, my sewing room was 20x24, with counters and cabinets left from other people's kitchen remodels and a drop down cork coated cutting board built by my Dad, as well as storage for my 124 boxes of fabric in an adjoining room. I miss it, but certainly not my ex.

I, too, had a large shop when I was married to my first husband. It was 19x28. I miss that shop..... But, I'm not deterred by small spaces. It's a long story, but in 2008/2009, my son and I lived in a little adobe out in Colorado that only had 300 sq ft for about 6 months. When we moved it was to a spacious 600 sq ft apartment. These are the total sq feet for each place! And I was quilting at both places, and buying fabric. I had to store boxes of fabric I found at a church rummage sale in my car. (5 big 2ft sq boxes - tremendous deal - fabric was 25cents a PIECE, regardless of size and some were up to 10 yds) My storage was already full and so was my car and the little adobe. lol That's when I started looking for a BIG house to move to when we came back to Tennessee. And my co-workers thought I was crazy for wanting so much room....

I'm glad you've gotten your space! I know how hard it is to quilt without one....I used to have to put everything away each time I stopped...now I can leave it out more since I have a specific craft/office.
