We went from 1375 sq. ft. to 4775 sq. ft. and with that I now have my very own sewing/quilting/crafting room. Our house is 2575 main level and 2200 in the lower level which is where my room is. However, I still find that I like cutting out my quilts on our kitchen island which is 7' x 3.5' and has a skylight over it. My husband indulges me when I do that because he knows it is just for a couple of hours.
