What Does Your Quilting Space Look Like?
#31
Well I am organized but messy, like many of you some of my space doubles as other things. There the white rack glass tanks are snakes, big tubs are rats and mice, rat cage on top of plastic drawers (stuffed with fabric. The two tables in an "L" shape are stuffed underneath with fabric. The cubby affair is a rack for hatchling snakes (holds 30 snakes), but they all just moved up, so it's a mess. The table with blue tub usually holds fabric I am working with but those are snakes in the tub mating. I love my room, but am a little sorry it is such a mess today. This time of year I am spread thin so just get sewing in when I can, don't look at the mess and have fun. There's also a sewing machine and computer in this room.

Newquiltertoni! I have a spare bedroom AND a sewing room but both are filled to overflowing! I have to bring my sewing machine into the livingroom to use it. :oops: Honestly thinking about getting rid of the double bed in the spare room to move in my quilting stuff but just thinking. Like you we don't get any company to speak of so really don't need the extra bed. If anyone DOES stay we have a sofa, cot, and (for the summer) a pop up camper we don't use anymore for camping. Plenty of room so why not use the spare for a quilting space? :D

bj - it would appear some of your sewing space is being taken up by a rather attractive boxer. Is he your helper?
Toni, I love your sewing table! I'd say you are off to an excellent start. I have to tell you though, I laughed and choked on my water (I was taking a drink) when I read how you can just put it all in a drawer and push it up against the wall. The thought of my trying to do that with all my stuff is what caused me to laugh/choke. Yeah right! :roll: Don't worry, you'll get there and someday you'll have a ton of stuff that has consumed your living room. I can't wait to remind you of this several years down the road; together we'll have a good laugh. :lol:

Lois,
We got rid of the twin bed in my sewing room and bought an big air mattress for the kids when they come home. I've not regretted the loss of that bed one minute! That being said, I still have drug my sewing machine into the living/dining room to do the quilting on my latest quilt. It helps to have the dining table carry the weight of the quilt while I'm working on it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
