I have said for years that I would learn to quilt as soon as I could sign up for a class and not miss half of them due to my children's ballgames, school board meetings and work. The time finally arrived and I just completed my first class and my very first quilt! Now I am completely hooked on quilting and am having the time of my life! I have converted my upstairs loft into a quilting room and my husband has turned a wall into a quilting wall for me. Next decision is with both kids off to college, which of their room's do I take over to put all the fabric I seem to be collecting into. :lol:

Good for you! and welcome to the board!

It certainly is addictive, isn't it?
Welcome from Pine Grove, CA :-D |
Both rooms!!?? Welcome!!!
|
Lori- Welcome! I'm a newbie too. I took over my daughter's bedroom when she went off to school. If you can have two rooms....claim them both right away...you'll be glad you did later.
|
put a door between them!
|
No one told me I'd need so much space for fabric or that I'd be buying so much of it. I've started sneaking it into the house when my husband isn't looking. Not that he'd be mad.....just I'm a little bit embarrassed by my behavior! Where does everyone else put their fabric??

Welcome from Washington State. Glad you joined us! I moved the towels out of the linen closet in the hallway right outside my sewing room and have most of my stash there. The rest, usually designated for a specific project, is in a couple of those plastic drawer things in my sewing room. I would LOVE to have my own sewing room. Where I sew now is our office/sewing room. I say take over both of them while you have the chance. It's harder once it starts being used for some other purpose.

Welcome from Illinois! I know from experience that once they leave for college they sometimes come back. Claim a room quick! If one is bigger, take that one. Otherwise, pick the one with the best view.

Welcome from TN! Glad you have joined us. You will learn a lot here and find that it is addicting, informative and a great place to be!

Welcome! I agree, grab both! One for sewing in, one for stash and the long arm that you are going to want! Did I mention that this is addicting? ;-)
|
Wow - your own room already? You are all set!! Can't wait to see pictures of your first quilt :)
I'm so jealous - no class or room for me yet! |

Welcome from Ireland

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I have already discovered that quilters are a friendly nuturing group who are eager to help out a beginner. In fact, I learned this on my first outing to buy fabric! This site is incredibly informative and I'm spending more and more time here. I'll have to be careful or I'll spend more time talking/reading about quilting than actually quilting. :)

I was like you, waiting for the girls to leave the nest, I have 3. Added on to the kitchen, was not big enough since two of them are married now with children, and with that we also decided to dig a full basement, took that over as my sewing room. Love it. Have fun and enjoy.

Welcome from Montana. My youngest will be leaving for college in August. She is going all the way to Ohio so she won't be home too often. I'd better take a second look at her bedroom! Actually, I am lucky. I have a fair sized room in the basement. I will only have to look at her room if I get a longarm - but I am still dreaming about that.
