I too have sewn in different places. The basement, kitchen, and living room. Now I have a spare room for my quilting. I've taken my machine camping and sat outside under the awning. I've quilted at a school board meeting. I've driven my daugher to school 3 nights a week the last two years and have taken hand quilting and done cutting in the library and in the common area. Many of the kids came up and talked and one of my daughter's teachers gave me an idea that I am using now on my husband's lighthouse quilt. I love sewing on my back deck the best.
