I also had two places until this year. Had a sewing machine in each with rulers, cutters, mat and general sewing supplies as well. I made up my own quilt kits from my stash and took them to the cabin. It worked well for me. The only problem now is that I have an over abundance of "things" since I've now combined the two houses! After 9 months I still haven't unpacked all the boxes and have changed my sewing room around numerous times to accommodate everything.
