My "studio" is only 10" x 12 and is jam packed. I make mantilla veils for a living, so there is really quite a lot of stuff in here. I actually took the door off the room to free up space. On two walls there are floor to ceiling shelves that are quite deep and the other two walls are taken up by an L shaped desk that holds one of my sewing machines on the left, my computer in the center, and one of my embroidery machines on the right. (I don't even want to tell you where my other embroidery machine, serger and other two sewing machines are). I was thinking of putting a roll down shade over one of the shelving areas and putting batting on that, but I really wouldn't be able to see it from a distance unless I go out into the backyard and look through the window! But as I progress with my quilting skills, I see more and more that it is a necessity, so I'll figure something out.
And while I was always thinking that Electric Quilt was quite unnecessary for me, I am now seeing it's enormous value, thanks to thepolyparrot.
Not watching the game tonight, so lots of time to sew!
