I've been thinking about this alot lately. My dream quilting place would be a place where women could gather. I'd like the nice view and a fireplace. I'd like a place to sit and have some coffee (separate from the quilting room). In that coffee room, I'd also like to have beer served and a big screen TV so much DH could come and visit with some "guys" while I quilt with my friends.
There's a brewery in Gloucester MA where there's a place to sit in rocking chairs and have a beer while knitting/crochetting. They get together once a month! I loved the idea.
