Hi, Ruth! I have the small house and the snow, too. I have been able to use the tables at the church, school, library, or meeting hall to make my sandwich, and pin it together. It only takes a few hours, and they usually help me do it. I've never been charged rent to use them. Another thing you might try, see if there is a quilt club nearby. They usually have tables or a larger area to use. Happy quilting!
