I'm in the basement too! Just retired and built our dream house in the mountains of Eastern Oregon. SO....the daylight basement was designed around my quilting needs - 25' x26'. I think my hubby was tired of the projects all over the house for the last 30 yrs.
I have a longarm on a 12 ft. frame so that took up most of the space. Since we needed such a big mechanical room I got a separate room for my fabric. Talk about heaven 8' x 12' with scads of shelves. Cutting table is 4 lower cabinets with a cork counter with a big cutting mat and ironing station at the end. Sewing machine is under the window for light and close to the ironing station/cutting table. Little parlor stove in the corner with a comfy rocker and Ott light for hand work.
This is really a dream come true.
