Sounds like you have me beat on fabric. I made a New Years resolution not to buy any until I have some of my older stuff sewn up. Well, stopped in the local quilt shop this morning and they were having a sale on fat quarters. So much for that resolution!

LOL - We thought we would move to something smaller when my son moved out but when I looked into apartments, I only looked at layouts that had at least one "large" bedroom with a large walkin closet for my sewing stuff.... :-)

My kitchen counter is my cutting table. My mat and cutting tools are at the ready. Oh, to have a designated "studio" for all my sewing needs. Wow, rooms full of fabric IS a lot. Guess I don't have that much fabric after all. Better go buy some!

:) my oh my I do believe you hve an addiction

I'm greeeeeeeeeen with envy over both the storage and amounts of fabric I'm hearing about here.

Have you heard of the TV show, Hoarders? This sounds like a case of FABLE (Fabric Accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy) or just plain ADD. Make a list of projects you want to do and get the materials together ... then purge your extra stuff to the nearest quilt group that makes charity quilts. Share the wealth!

When you said small, I thought you meant SMALL! I have 700' total. Two counters in the kitchen that are 2 feet each, one on either side of the sink. Only one sink. No prep place to speak of. I guess its a matter of perception! I have all my stash in MY closet. I live here with DH and Paws.

Oh, well, they say Nature abhors a vacuum. I guess you are just following your nature?

A sane person would realize that four bed rooms was enuf for storage and a few sewing machines ,right. Well I've spent all day trying to find more room up there, Then it hit me , the dinning room down stairs. well I thought if I start slow , with maybe one machine my hb wouldn' t notice. He never notices anything else, so I slip carefully down with my fw . He' reading so I know he won't pay any attention, I get almost to the table when he says "rum out of room". darn . now what? No I won't let any of my dear friends out of the house.... Thanks for being here just needed tovent. Back I go up stairs.

I'm with CJ. I have a one bedroom apt and my sewing room is in two corners of the bedroom. Not alot of space.
|
2 of my 3 bedrooms are 9 x 10. The "master" is only 10 x 10. One of the extras is my office with computers, filing cabinets, printers, an office desk, so it is full. The 3rd bedroom is going to be made into my sewing room. I am 6' tall so most surfaces are too low for me to use to cut and baste. I have an antique wrought iron baby bed that I am trying to figure out how to make a cutting board for the top. I am emptying the closet to put shelves in for the fabric, etc. Now, just to get it done!!! I'd rather close in the carport but that has to wait.
