WOW am I a newbie! Floors and bedroomS S for sewing??? I bought myself a brand new embroidary Janome LAST Christmas (09)! and I've used it twice! Its sitting behind the living rm couch! I'm trying to get a guest bedrm fixed up to put it in there, but it will still be a bedrm. My fabrics are hung on hangers in 1 closet, in footlockers all over and in the attic! lol! SO is a chemical engineer and he likes everything in place!

When I feel like I'm taking over with fabric, I watch a couple episodes of "Hoarders" and it scares me enough to donate some stuff!

You need to open a fabric shop, sew 24 - 7, or have a sale.

I have one small closet in our family room and my sewing table is a card table, so count your blessings. My husband is in and out all day so I'm usually alone with my classical music, so that keeps me calm about it all. That much fabric would frustrate me, because I don't have enough life left to use what I have already.

My children recently moved out. However,my sewing room is yet to be organized so I still sew on the diningroom table and hope to get the sewing room by the end of spring.

I think it is a matter of the amount of space you have does not matter -- you will fill it regardless of how small or large it is!! I have found this to be true with every place I have lived!!

I like the comment about "Missing him" -- good answer!!

Quilters are wired to reason like that, when it comes to sewing rooms. Our motto should be"If if can hold fabric then that should be the purpose of the room,most of the time".

Okay girl - time to step back a moment. If you have 4 bedrooms full of quilting stuff, and need more space, get organized. Use up what you have. Are you a materialholic? I knew a woman who stacked hundreds of yards of material in her closets. Couldn't go into a material store. You really need to do something and soon!!

Sounds like you could open a quilting store.
