Quilting Workspace
#21
Thanks for the suggestions! We’ve completed one cabinet. The second will be done Monday. We had a missing bolt but he has plenty. Next up is a trip to Home Depot for supplies. The cart shouldn’t take more than 2 weeks.
As for the desk, I’m debating between a 24-inch drop leaf (60 x 48 total) or 36-inches (60 x 60 desk). Should I go for the extra space?

I was a little sore when I finished the second Ikea cabinet. The hammer drill is heavy due to the battery pack. I felt it later in my back! Thanks for the suggestions. I’m going to use the larger leaf if possible. Quilting and home decor projects will be a lot easier.

I love to hand quilt but haven't done much lately. But that is about to change. The quilt in my Avatar is a hand quilted King size quilt. I used a large Hoop to complete this one. I also have a nice frame that I use from time to time and it doesn't really take up that much space. I find the hoop more portable I like to lay in bed and watch TV while quilting. I can relax with DH that way. I will baste a large quilt using quilting tacks by glue basting. Each works great for hand quilting. I find pins cumbersome. I have made a large number of quilts this way. Best of luck to you.

I think first of all it depends on what the exact size of the king size quilt is. I think that the garage is a very common place for this, since you can do all the work on the quilt there. You can hardly do this right in your apartment. I have a small office that I rent from osdoro.com.sg in order to do a little work for the business, so that no one distracts me and I can say that there is enough space to work with quilt. I can do this during my one-hour break. Anyway, it distracts me from my work and lets my brain relax. It may be a bit of an unusual place, but why not?
