Diannia,I'm so glad you told me about those! I do want to get some boards. Tell me how do I reach this person?? I've only been on QB for about a month and some of it is still new to me.

It's a really neat and practical idea. Love it. Thanks for the reply!

A long table would be my joy. God bless. Penny

definitely get a comfortable chair that can be raised or lowered so that it is the right height for sewing for you - feet flat on floor; shoulders relaxed etc.

Yes, a good chair is a must. I love my computer chair and it will stay in the room.

I have been looking over my list of ideas that all of you have given me and there are only a few more things I need. The room is almost ready. I cleaned the carpet, windows, curtains, etc. Moving furniture is a back-breaker.... uugghh. I'm doing stretches a few times a day to limber up. Dang, this old furniture is heavy! I have a solid oak hutch to sit on the back of the desk, but I'm going to bribe and bake for a few brawny grandsons to help. DH and I simply cannot do that kind of lifting anymore. If I have to give it up, oh well, I will. My fabric is all stocked on shelves, and looking rather pathetic in comparison to everyone elses. I don't know why I thought I had so much.

I haven't left the house since last saturday! So tomorrow I will go shopping to see if I can find the few things I'd like to have. If I can't find what I want, I'll add them later.

Thanks again, QB buddies!!

FINISHED!! :thumbup: And I do like it! sorry about the lighting in the photos, this room is always bright even on a cloudy day, which it is cloudy at the moment. So I lowered the shades in a few of the photos.

I swapped out 2 pieces of furniture but other than that, it's all the same, just moved around. The armoire needs to be refinished, but for now, it's fine. It has a lot of space inside.

As you can see, my stash is pathetic. :-(

Before pics are on page 2 (I think?) and the messy stage pics are just a page before this one.... I should have looked before I uploaded these pics.

I like having everything in one room... well, except the large handquilting frame is upstairs in a bedroom, and my floor stand frame is in the livingroom by my comfy chair.

I think it looks great! Congratulations on getting it finished in such a short time.

impressed....

It's a beauty!! Now you can go in there, shut the door, and feel as though you're at a retreat.
