    Looks great. I know it looks impressive when you see the post of people that have stashes that would make some small quilt stores look bare but I've found out that it you have too much, especially if you can't display it to see what's there, you end up forgetting what you have and buy more. Since I organized my small room and put all my fabrics on shelves to see I've spent a lot less money on more fabric and can usually find something that will work for what I'm doing. My daughter loves shopping in my sewing room now too.

    Thanks everyone for your response. I am fortunate that I do have a large bedroom with plenty of space.

    I started small about 11 years ago much like your setup. It worked great, but as the years came and went my sewing room went through quite a few upgrades. I now have 2 rooms.

    looks wonderful!! I see you are throwing away the bolt cardboard, you an cut it in half and fold your fabric over it. I use those for yardage cuts!

    I started out like that a few years ago. Now I have two sewing rooms.

    I love those tables.

    That's a really nice set up. I like the tables for the flow of work. I'm sending you warm wishes for lots of happiness and creativity.

    What a nice set up - there are times when I wish I still only needed a small area instead of 1 huge room that is spilling out into every room in the house. And I do mean every room--I needed to change the foot and hand sewing needles -I got them and on my way back to the machine they got lost- 2 hours later I found them setting on the bathroom countertop
