Batting I buy in bolts and backing too. I buy clear plastic storage boxes used to store scrapbooking paper 12"x12" perfect to place pattern and materials in for the project I am working on or will be. They stack nicely. My fat quaters I bought basket to fit the size of a folded fat quater. I use other baskets to store binding and bias and hang them from the ceiling in my basement. My husband built a shelf to house my TVand radio and disc player. It is at eye level. (I just like it on for the noise) I also have a small college type referiator to keep cold beverage and fruit in for those snack time. My husband also placed two set ofshop lights,one above cutting board and one right above my sewing machine. My Pa made me two shelves to hold my rulers and templates. And since I am in the basement I have an esculator to ride down and up the steps. As you come down the steps you will see a sign up above that says ,"Rosie's Heaven" along the side walls coming down the stair case are photo of quilts I have made and are framed with a discription of the quilt and who it was made for along with the pattern name. I know this is long but maybe some of these will help. Above all it needs to be comfortable for you.
Rosie--It does sound like Heaven!! I love your idea of framing pictures of your quilts and hanging along your stair walls. Makes for a great art gallery!!
