I'm hand quilting/applique and I get comfy in my favorite chair, get out my applique project from my favorite quilting bag and stitch until I'm content, lol..I don't have a sewing room, yet, but then again, I don't have a large stash since I'm doing applique and it's going to take me a long time to make my Baltimore Album Quilt. When I'm finished stitching I neatly fold up my applique, put it away to keep it clean and no one touches it. My son is 27, only child, no grand babies, only a son and my husband but even still I don't want them to bother my 'stuff'. So I put it away. If I get out the sewing machine, I do that at the dining room table so I have to clean up the dining room table for dinner. I'm a near freak, what can I say....
