i am very lucky. my husband gave me 2/3 s of the attached garage. my finished area is 20 x 20 feet with 10 ft. celings. he bilt a large area for my fabric. it is 18 ft. long and 10 ft. tall and 4 ft. deep. it is packed full of fabric and have fabric in baxes on the floor. i will never live long enough to use all the fabric.....but.....you see i can not help my self. i must buy fabric and books. i have about 700 quilting books and magazines.
