I use the guest bedroom to set up my floor frames for quilting. They straddle the bed, and since we don't often have overnight guests, it can stay there for months while I quilt. I set up a card table against the wall for my sewing machine and an antique dresser I use to store my small stash and supplies. I have to admit, I do have fabric piled up on a night stand for the next quilt top I am getting ready to start, and my rulers and stencils are laying on another small table. Don't have a design wall yet, but have purchased those Command hangers and a Fons & Porter Design wall to put up, I'm still not sure where because I don't have any blank wall space. I did just purchase a set of four wooden trouser hangers and intend to hang those from the Command hangers to hold finished quilts for photographing. In my utility room I have a table I use for folding laundry and on it sits a small ironing board. My 24"x36" mat fits on it just fine for cutting and still leaves room for the little ironing board to stay in place. It seems to be the right height for me. Our hall is an odd shape, my friend calls it the rotunda, but it is of a good size, so now and then I will bring the card table from the guest room to sew on my machine there. As my quilting tools and supplies are increasing (imagine that!) and I am beginning to build a stash I can see that before long I will need to plan for better organization and storage. The flow is good between the utility room, the rotunda and the guest room so I'm not complaining.
