I am PapaJohn's DW...the one who started this arrangement by agreeing to teach him to quilt. We do pretty well sharing the sewing room. It's big enough for two machines on tables, our large work table, and the quilting machine on frame. Plus other assorted items. Anyway, there's plenty of room, so we can both work in there together, as long as we are courteous about sharing the work table...sometimes I have to pick up his stuff and move it....sometimes right on top of him!! ;-) If he leaves a mess, I remind him that we are sharing space. After all, this was my room first...he still has his garage and his "blue room" (den), so, my rules go here!!! We do enjoy having the time together, tho', cause we both work full time. And we don't generally argue....too much!! ;)
