I wish I could buy your house!

Enjoy your two year adventure! I can't imagine leaving family and friends like you will be doing, however it's an adventure. You will be back in the states in just a couple of years. Pack up plenty of kits and just look at it as a fun new experience.

What a great experience you are in for! The time will fly by and before you know it you will be back here designing your new sewing room, oh, I mean house. Stay on this board and let us know how you are getting along. :thumbup:

If I didn't love him so much, I would give up my husband and keep the room. What an amazing room!

That is an amazing room...and great stash!! I know this must be very difficult for you, but you can plan another when you get back!!!

I am part of a group of women that have been friends & retreating buddies for years. We take turns retreating in each others' homes so I wanted/needed a room that could accommodate 6-7 women sewing on their machines.

I also have a very large stash that I wanted to be able to see, touch & easily access. I had a mid arm machine with a 12 ft table that I recently sold.

We will build another house when we come back. I won't replace the quilter, but I still want a sewing room close to this size.

Thanks for looking, understand that my room is not really this neat, I just moved things from one end to the other when I took the pictures so that it looks neat!

My heart goes out to you to have to leave such a beautiful sewing room. I would not want to. I do have a question for you though. I see that you sew on a table like I do. I have problems with my table viberating when I start sewing fast. Does yours? And how can I stop the table from doing that?

Wow, so sorry you have to give it up for a while it is quite stunning!

OMG!!! How awesome is your sewing room. I would be gutted to be leaving it. But have fun designing your next one.

I am sure you will miss this fabulous space! But there is one thing I have found with those who love sewing and quilting- we can work in small spaces if we have to.
