Ideal quilting area?
Two years ago I began quilting and even my husband understood that this is going to be a lifelong hobby. Because I do not have much experience I need your advice.
We started house hunting and our goal is to find a house with an ideal space for quilting. I can’t horde for myself a separate 20 by 20ft studio – how sad!
1. There are three options: a regular bedroom, a loft, or a family room assigned only for quilting. Which do you prefer?
2. What is better: quilting on the first floor where the household will be close by, or on the second floor where guests won’t come by my mess?
3. And the main question: how big should the space be, to be comfortable (it also has to fit TV and a reclining chair for my husband, who is planning to spend long winter nights together – isn’t he a sweetie?)
Please help me by sharing your experience of what would be an ideal sewing area. Ideal, but realistic.
