Thanks everyone! First, you all should know that I've been sewing since high school (over 30 years ago) and quilting seriously for about 15-20 years. Next, part of the stash came from my mom who sewed for over 50 years. So there's a lot of history in that stash.
Amyjo mentioned garage....well, that's what I got. It was a carport a few years ago. Hubby closed it in about 5 years ago and it's been a work in progress since. We just painted the concrete floors! That has really cut down on the dust, I should add.
Finally, I've recycled all sorts of stuff: a cabinet from his grandmother's utility that everyone wanted to trash, a microwave cart from the kids that the doors wouldn't close, cabinets from a job my home improvement son did and had to be taken apart to be removed. Thank God my husband is so talented and able to fix castoffs.....just paint everything in one neutral color and it appears to match.
Thank you for the sweet words. I do love my space and can't wait till I retire from my day job.....to my studio.
