I guess it is all mine, mess and all. I wish it had a door. At least I can do whatever I want in that room. I feel like it is my "girl cave".

I love my room (not done yet) because it is mine and I can have what ever I want in there and I can arrange it to my liking. I also have some antiques with the new and love it. I have enough storage and I store some fabric downstairs. All my projects I can see that are in containers. I love it!! I can leave stuff out and not worry about putting things away if I am having company. It is heaven!!

Because the room is mine! Not very big, but on main floor since I have fibro, makes life easier. Have 2 big south facing windows, and 2 east. Very quiet and peaceful. Good place for me to do my "therapy" crafts! :)

I love the decor, all girlie girl. And everything is exactly the right height for me.

Now the other thing that makes it special is that it is the hottest room in the house. I keep the window open all winter long and if I sew in the summer I need to set the AC in the house at 60 to keep my room 78.

First I painted it deep turquoise, there are all kinds of things hanging on the walls that refer to quilting. Then all the bookcases filled with colorful fabric and books. I think my 4 year old granddaughter put it best. She said "Grammy it is a happy room" :thumbup:

mine is special to me because it is "my" room and mine only i can upstairs to my sewing room and no one will bother me

The DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door. When I'm in the zone, everyone knows to find it themself, make their own lunch(or dinner sometimes), that Mom is not availlable!

It's the one place I can go to for peace & quiet, except for the machine noise, of course!

Because I can touch, smell, and see all that color and think about the possibilities. It's a place to dream and plan and enjoy.

But I always love to hear how some of you have made your quilting rooms like your personal sanctuary and a place you love to be. I was curious what some you have added to or have done to your rooms that make them such a special place?

First of all,is size, 15' x 20', a huge north picture window with lots of light and a resting spot for my eyes as I scope out the birds on the feeder outside the window, tv and tape player for those older ones and several Ott lamps for each machine. These old eyes don't see as well as they used to.
