Welcome! This is a great group and are always glad to make new friends. A shipping container sounds like a creative way to get your own space. You'll have to share some pictures with us!

Welcome from Florida!

Welcome from the state of Missouri - smack dab in the middle of the United States! Keep saving ideas - but I would advise to start out with easy quilts or projects.

Thank you everyone for the very warm welcome.
I intend to look at the organization section of this forum to get some ideas regarding my container/sewing room.
It is a very big mess at the moment but I am feeling motivated at last so who knows???

So nice to have you here with us. Many years ago, back around Y2K one of the first people I ever met in real life that I met on-line first, was a quilter from Australia! I had met her on a similar board, and it just happened she was doing some world traveling and had a stop over in Seattle. So you just never know what life brings.

I am so lucky at this stage in my life to have a room dedicated to my machine and fabric, it's a small bedroom but still about twice your space -- still, you have a good amount of workspace if you don't have to deal with as much stash as I've amassed... Remember to go vertical, I don't know how well you can attach shelves to a container, but you can put a light weight book case on a sturdy table. I have to do my quilt layout on my queen bed which is the largest workspace I have, that or the kitchen floor. Sadly,with the current condition of my knees, I have to have an exit strategy in place in order to get up from the floor... Ah, the pleasures of youth when the floor was still an option!

Welcome for SE Michigan USA. Half a shipping container. What space! There has to be so much to be done with that. So great to have you join us. Jump right in and have loads of fun.

A warm welcome from sunny (usually) Southern California. I am amazed at your fabric artists in Australia and have been thinking of a visit just because of that.
