Okay everyone!! Party's on!!! You are all officially invited to come visit and bring some playthings. I'll furnish the sewing space and some wine or tea. We can play to our heart's content. No men allowed....unless he is a quilter :roll: :lol:

grannie cheechee 12-28-2010 04:55 AM

Love your space. I'd like to come play there, but I don't drive in or shovel snow anymore. Snow is why we moved to FL. You did a great job on your designing of the space.

Beautiful spacious room. Lucky you :)

Triple WOW! That is truly a dream Quilting, Sewing, or Craft Room. You're sooo lucky.

Your DIL must love you!!! I have one that is just as caring and looks to me for most anything.

do you have building plans for the island? it looks like file cabinets on the corner I would pay a small fee for plans and supply list....

No building plans. Just file cabinets on the corners and some braces in the center to hold up the 60x80 plywood top. The base is also plywood on a 2x4 frame with casters on the corners. The contractor was originally going to use custom cabinetry all around but in my quest to reduce the cost of the room he came up with the file cabinets. I have my quilting fabric in the ones under the big table and patterns and my tools in the ones under the smaller table. It still ended up being a costly renovation, but since I downsized from the other house I had stashed enough to do a new roof, new windows, and the basement. It was my lifelong dream to have this room. I figured I sacrificed enough over the years to be able to splurge in my old age.

Now - thats what I call a sewing room with space for all the machines.

gramquilter2 12-28-2010 01:23 PM

Wow, you have a wonderful room to sew in.

Do you even know how blessed you are? Wow! I love your sewing area!

Elliotsgreatgrandma 12-28-2010 08:08 PM

Your room is so wonderful. I sew in my sitting room and I am always crowded and have to clean frequently. You are so lucky to have all that space.

Iraxy 12-28-2010 08:18 PM

Wow, work room envy here! :). Enjoy, enjoy!

Dee 12-28-2010 08:21 PM

missionslady 12-29-2010 12:09 AM

Beautiful! You don't have a sewing room; you have a sewing studio! I want one:-)

Donnamarie 12-29-2010 05:32 AM

You are soooo lucky, I would kill for a sewing room like that. It is fantastic, I would never leave. My family would have to come and find me. I'm jealous! Good for you.

Nancy in Louisiana 12-29-2010 10:44 AM

You people with basements -- what can I say. Down here we call them indoor swimming pools. How I miss a real, dry, big, empty space. In fact that's one of the main things a Yankee misses when they move south -- there's not place to put all your "stuff".

Boise Madhatter 12-29-2010 10:46 AM

I love your room.. wow wow wow.. i live in a tiny doll house.. cleaned up from my last project in time for my grandson to visit.. my wife almost fainted when she walked into a clean living room.. you are very lucky congrads.

BellaBoo 12-29-2010 10:54 AM

I love white sewing rooms! Beautiful, just beautiful.

Pam S 12-29-2010 11:26 AM

Wow! This must be the most beautiful sewing room I've ever seen. If I weren't so happy for you, I'd be downright jealous. :mrgreen:

mollymct 12-29-2010 11:34 AM
