Ramen noodles are good.
My DH and I took a piece of solid door and covered with MDF board put a lazy susan bottom on it...plan to cover with a piece of cutting mat for a rotating mat...will post pics when completed...love the room and batting that is hanging...we have some of those brackets.....going for another do it yourself.
Thanks for the ideas.

What a super area to sew in!

Nice set up. My cutting mat is now on a the top of a heavy cardboard that I have on top of a giant dog kennel. I use the kennel for my meddlesome black and tan coonhound when I have to go out.

Years ago when I didn't need a guest bedroom, I built a couple of frames of plywood and furring strips and put them on casters. The inside, open part held transfer file boxes full of fabric. They had 24 boxes in each framework. I did a lot of sewing on clothing then and could spread out long pieces of fabric for cutting.

LOL....you can't see it very well, but there are some curtains at the end of the room. In there are about 8 plastics tubs separated by color. :)

I've left them out of the room until I get my stash tamed....cause everything is just tossed and wadded up in the bins....SO I need to take time get them looking nice and tamed before I add them to the room....I know, I'm CRAZY! :oops:

Well I sit there and watch the Qbot! :) I normally have the Golden Girls playing on DVD and just watch to be sure everything.

That setup is really new, I've only done 1 quilt with it so far - and have NEVER free handed....it make me nervous! :P

Michael - I just bought Qbot, too.....but don't be afraid of freehand!!! I used 2 sheets from thrift store and cheap batting and went for it! It's easier than you think!

I love the set-up you have.
