I am lucky enough to have 2 small former bedrooms (when the girls were at home) that my DH & I were able to convert into my 2 rooms - 1 for sewing & the other for cutting etc. My favorite thing is the big board that DH made for me. It sits on top of a cabinet that I bought at Canadian Tire with 6 wicker drawers in it for storage. I use that board for almost everything. It is probably the 1 best item that I have & I have many, probably too many & not used nearly enough. If you have the space a big board is a must for quilting, IMHO.
