I have a caravan and you can be sure if you only take a limited amount to make a project you require something left at home. These are both long times in each. Is tranort ings the stash backwards and forwards possible?

I have this problem, too. Houses are 8 hours apart, so I can't just "run home" to get the fabric I want/need. At this point, I am only transporting projects to my vacation home. Main stash stays home.

Oh what a wonderful dilemma to have. Given that one home is smaller, I think that keeping the bulk of your stash at the larger home where you said you have a big studio would be the most logical. Although I think I might keep some basics in fabric, batting, backing, etc. in your smaller home; but make up "kits" in your studio to bring to the small home. You are lucky that you have that option. Good lucky and happy quilting.

I keep most everything in the main house. Our other home is an efficiency apt. in D.C. for concerts, plays, parties with old friends/etc. Since we don't spend much time there (and have very little space,) I just keep a machine, one in-process project I only ever work on there, and a few supplies in the apt. and everything else at home. Not sure what I would do if our time was more evenly split and/or the city place was bigger.

I live in 3 different homes (one is a motorhome) Our main home is on a lake & there is where I keep everything & do my quilting. When we are home I decide what projects I want to do in the winter & gather everything needed for the projects & take along in the motorhome. We have just bought a house on the beach in Mexico so now I will have more room to sew & quilt during the winter. I am so lucky........By the way, we live remotely at the lake, & the shopping is nil in Mexico so I end up doing most of my quilt shopping on the internet. I have just learned to bring plenty of thread...............
