Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. The bulk of my stash is in big plastic bins in the garage. The nicest stuff I keep in my s. room. I have stuff crammed under the sewing table, under thequilt frame, on the frame shelves, under the sewing table - in baskets, cute boxes, etc. My husband goes nuts when he comes in the room. Also collect pincushions and old syrup pourers that I keep beads in. Gooby gobs of stuff to dust. ACHOO :mrgreen:

I am not the one mentioned on Oprah - did she have a quilter on her program?

I have a Viking Mega Quilter and the Grace frame that is made for it but I am afraid of it.

I just sold mine, what are you afraid of? It's a great machine! Do you do FMQ or use the QBOT or the Quilt Sew Clever?

I don't have the Q-Bot - too expensive but I am always unsure if I loaded everything correctly and if my machine acts up I go in a panic. The FMQ doesn't bother me if I use simple patterns - it's just all the other things you have to do. I need an attitue change.

I share a room with a 22 yr old GS who only uses it for his dirty clothes hamper. I can go in anytime, but it works for us...oh I forgot to mention it use to be his sisters room and it is bright tourquiosis(?)

Pink is a good color for a sewing room huh? The WHOLE house is pink - even the garage. Somehow it works and my DH and I were too lazy to paint when we bought the house.

All those fabric draped over your quilting frame looks mighty familiar! :-)

I'm getting ready to put the sashing on vintage dresden plate blocks - will use old feedsack and new reproductions so it will be something old and something new.
