That's the way I started out. The dinning room table and a few scraps of fabrics. Then with each project I always bought more than I needed and that started my stash. Where in So. Cal are you? I am in La Verne. |
Close. I will be 60 in November. I have a spare bedroom converted into my sewing room. I don't think I'm quite up to par on my fabric because I only purchase fabric that I need for a specific pattern - I don't buy just because I think it's pretty because I have no room to store it. Machines - I'm over - just got a Janome Horizon, I have an embroidery machine, a serger, and an HQ-16 on the studio frame. Machine wize I probably won't buy another machine as I have everything I want and need. Now if I could just retire so that I can use my machines as much as I want..........

I fit everything too except that I am about 32 years off on the age.

The rest is for my two sewing machines and tables, my ironing and cutting table, my computer and printer and a coat rack for my bags and purses. About a 1/3 of the closet is for clothes the rest is for stash, storage,office supplies,CDs,paperwork, bedding, etc. The closet is 8ft. wide, by 24in.deep, 8 ft. tall.) My tools, including quilting books(62+), tables (3), machines(2), rack for thread (1 150 spools) , OTT lights (4),rotary cutters, scissors, storage bins, etc. Probably about $5,000. Fabric $2,500. Quilts made 5. Quilting for 6 months. :) Sounds like a great space for alone time. |
I'm 53 and have been quilting since 1999. I don't have my own room yet.. I have less in supplies and in fabric. Maybe 3k in all.
