Since I live alone with just my Great Dane Waylon, I don't worry about the dust and dog hair stuck to the rugs. I have finished 20 quilts this year and have another 2 ready for the longarm, and a quilt in progress. I am trying to reduce my stash, but don't seem to be seeing any progress. I do keep my stash in an orderly fashion so I can easily find what I need. I am definitely a fabricholic, and I won't admit to being crazy, but I do have more than one machine. I don't use all of them, some old ones are just collecting dust, one I use in my back bedroom when I am running the longarm with the computer. I can keep an eye on the longarm while doing some sewing on the next quilt. My sewing studio is in the basement so I can't be down there while the longarm is working away in the living room.
