I enjoyed reading all these comments and I can relate to so many of them. I have been retired for 11 years. All my plans for retirement were to quilt, quilt, quilt. I have been blessed with a huge room (use to be an enclosed swimming pool). My husband decided to fill in the pool because he thought I might like it for my sewing. He had other reasons!!!! He did not like every room in the house taken up with my "stuff". Like others I have accumulated a big stash and I am out in it all the time. It is big enough for my little great grands to have space to play too.
