That will be wonderful, to have everything in one place. Have fun getting it all set up once it's ready.

Will you be insullating it? What about heating and cooling?
Nice size for a quilting haven.

Wish I could tell you, but it is an antique quilt top that I quilted on my long arm. The blocks were just the large flower and a stem that extended to one corner. You could probably draw it out. It was made by a lady's great grandmother who died in 1945. Not sure when, but the green was common in the 1930's and the flower fabrics were probably feedsack. Her applique stitch was 16 per inch!

Hey, I work out of an 8' x 12' greenhouse shed. This is where I build all of my quilt frames. The greenhouse design has great lighting and a huge workbench area under the windows. I love it! It is now insulated, heated, wired, lights and I even put a microwave in it to keep warming up my coffee. Good luck with yours.

We will have a lot to do before I can move all my sewing/quilting stuff from the bedrooms it now occupies to its new home...but I'M EXCITED!! I'll be posting pictures as it comes together!
