I just recently moved to the basement. I was working at my kitchen table, but after finishing my first, then second, then starting my third quilt, I knew I needed a dedicated area. With young children, I can't always put everything away when I have to stop, so it was taking over the kitchen and meals were delegated to the living room! lol
So I moved all of my "stuff" down to the basement (after spending several days organizing my basement), set up a play area for the kids and a dedicated sewing area for me. That way we can all go down and "play" within sight of each other, and if I have to just leave it all laying out, I can. And I prefer it that way when I'm in mid-project. I find that when I have to clean up when I'm done working for the moment, or haul it all back out to start again, I'm not as motivated to actually finish it. At the end of each project, I do clean up and organize everything...so I can start a new one without the clutter! :lol:
