A last, a place to quilt!

My DH finally finished off our lower level and gave it all to me! We are both newly retired and I think he got tired of listening to my sewing machine during his TV shows! We didn't need another family room-so it is all mine for me and my quilting friends.

And then if I need to think something over I hit the exercise machines-works every time!

Wow! Really wonderful. I love your ironing table. So much more practical than a standard ironing board. Heck, I love all of it. Way to go, hubby!

Jenni M 08-15-2013 03:55 PM

LynnVT 08-15-2013 04:19 PM

Fabulous space! You don't have to wait for judgement day - you are already in heaven!

kiffie2413 08-15-2013 04:54 PM

Awesome! I have to say when only son graduated college then bought his own house I was feeling a lil "empty nesty"...then dh and I decided to send pool table and other game room stuff with son. I then inherited a lot of room.. I love having my own areas to spread out and quilt in. Hubby has his workshop and I have mine, so to speak..lol. Enjoy yours...rooms AND hubby!!

What a pleasure to look at. Bet it's a real joy to have your own space --your own HUGE space! I love the clean white cabinets and your big tables!

KerryK 08-15-2013 06:10 PM

Wonderful! But do you ever go upstairs? Surely would be easy to just hibernate there!

stablemom 08-15-2013 06:17 PM

wow,wow, wow! you are so lucky! i want it i want it ! lol

patski 08-15-2013 06:19 PM

great rooms and how nice that you DH encourages you! Mine is a keeper too! Its' so nice when you can have your very own space

LoriR 08-15-2013 06:56 PM

Thanks everyone for your kind words. However, remember the size of the room has nothing to do with the quality of the quilt! I still consider myself a confident beginner. I have a good friend who sews award winning quilts on a TV tray! I hope someday I can do something half as good. Yes, I am very lucky to have my DH who is my high school sweetheart and has always been very supportive!
Thanks again,
Lori in Minnesota

Retired Fire Chief 08-16-2013 04:25 AM

Oh my, how lucky are you! And when one of those mean, on-lining up seams stresses you out you can walk over and take it out on the treadmil!

Amythyst02 08-16-2013 04:42 AM

First, your space is just fabulous but you are so wise to recognize that space does not dictate the quality of the work. Compared to you, I don't have a lot of room. Compared to others, I have tons of space. The one thing that screams out to me in your space is the amount of open wall you have for a design wall. Makes me drool!! :) But I have often found myself in awe of some quilters that I'm aware of that do all their creations in a very tiny space.

mighty 08-16-2013 06:05 AM

Sew nice!!!!!!!!!

Janie67 08-16-2013 06:21 AM

Wow, that is a "woman cave". You could stay there forever and create to your hearts content.

ShirlinAZ 08-16-2013 06:31 AM

What a fabulous space! I am so-o-o-o-o-o-o jealous.

thimblebug6000 08-16-2013 06:32 AM

WOW, what a great space! Welcome to the forum and I really like that blue & yellow quilt you have up on the wall.

Grace MooreLinker 08-16-2013 06:32 AM

brunswickgirl 08-16-2013 06:36 AM

thequilteddove 08-16-2013 06:45 AM

WOW All that and windows too! *chants to self* I'm not jealous. Nope not jealous. Still not jealous. Ah who the heck am I kidding, I'M JEALOUS! lol

Prim Quilts 08-16-2013 06:57 AM

DonnaC 08-16-2013 07:00 AM

WOW is right!! That is about as big as my entire condo (LOL). Enjoy it! I'm sure you've earned a fabulous space like this after your retirement.

sewmom 08-16-2013 07:05 AM

I love your quilting space! I love, love, love your pressing surface. But I don't see your stash. Please tell me it's hidden in your beautiful cabinets!
