I had my featherweight table remodified to seat my Janome.
I had a shelf made to go where that honking big TV was so that gave me a lot of room for tools and threads and bits.

I put a pull down shade above the steps going up to the bedroom with glued on flannel on it for a working wall.
I used the cutting board that goes over the sink for a place to put my cutting mat.

It is all doable, depends on how flexible you are willing to be. Best wishes!

Have you given any consideration to tenting? They used to make some big honkin Sheepherder tents several years ago. With a wood stove in them, they were kinda compfy. I’m not sure what happened to mine. One of the kids got it, I guess. If they aren’t still making them, maybe you could sew your own. Set the DH’s cot and all of the cooking gear outside under a lean-to, and you’d have a fair-sized quilting area....

Just a thought.
