Don't you just love when the kids are finally out of the house and you have a new quilting room. I celebrated when my last son moved to NYC with his girlfriend. Best part was them both finding a job right away which meant I wouldn't have to change his room back to a bedroom.
BTW, Accuquilt dies should not be stored flat. It's best to set them on end. I know they take up more room that way but you can damage the blades by piling them one on top of the other.
