Quilt room

Quilt room
I finally decided to get rid of my big oversized chair and make it a quilting room. It has taken some time - but the transition is complete. Sorry for the Photo Bomb..we have 3 dogs - and it is impossible to not have one somewhere in almost every picture I take! I like the idea of the chair - but decided I have had it with kneeling on the floor to cut. Not to mention I think some of my cuts are off because of cutting on my mat on top of carpet. And the chair is a dog hair magnet.
There is still a lot of stuff in a small room but I am really happy with the change. Eventually we will move my room into the bedroom next door that is currently empty - but there is a lot of work to do in there first.
The best part of the other room is that there is a full wall closet. I struggle with the space in the one I have but have managed to fit most of my stuff in it.
My current fascination are the pretty magnet boxes like the one on the table on the right. I just love them!! I also just got a new thread holder. This one is an upgrade from my last and about 2.5 times bigger. Sometimes I am more of a collector than a quilter! My last great new item is my 31 bag. That is on the floor in the right corner. It fits my binders and my Accuquilt cutter dies perfectly. I just need to order a cover....
Any suggestions to organize more are welcome!
Thanks for looking!!

Now you have a nice bright place and stability for your cutting. You must love it! My quilting room is a small bedroom with one window. I have my machine on a table like yours in front of the window. I also have a second machine in that room as well as plastic storage for fabric. There is also a metal rack with 3 shelves on which are MORE plastic storage containers and baskets full of fabric. Right now it needs a good straightening up. You know hot our areas get after a while. Have fun and enjoy your room.

I slowly over the years transitioned this room into mine. We were going to build one in the basement - which would be great with all the built in's I could have - but I do think I would miss the natural light. The room I will be moving into next door has 2 smaller higher windows. But now I don't know if I want my machine or my cutting table by the windows in there. Maybe I can work out a way to do both!
The other nice thing will be a custom table for my Accuquilt....that will be so fun!
