    Thanks everyone - I am excited about the cabinet! Not the cleaning out, but I'll put on some music, pour myself a glass of wine and pretend I'm having a good time - maybe with 2 glasses of wine, I will be having a good time!!! At least I have 10 days to get ready!

    Bubby, I've been thinking about a 'design wall' - I have such creative ideas when I can't fall asleep at night - course most of them seem to fizzle in the light of day!?!? Anyway, maybe a design wall could be made kinda like a window shade that you can raise or lower in a space that otherwise wouldn't work, even over a window. Naturally I've never had one so maybe raising and lowering isn't such a great idea if it needs to be used all the time - see there, fizzling already!! Also no chance my Mr will be making a quilt, he's supportive enough, but more of a look over your shoulder, give advice 'n his opinion on layout kinda guy.

    Karen, yes it's fm Amazon - I did a little research on the diff vendors. Some are less $, but mine is extremely reasonable and the reviews on functionality are good, maybe the ext finish won't be ideal - but nothing is ideal.

    I'm lookin' forward to 'real' quilting in 2015, so wish me luck!
    HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GOOD HEALTH TO ALL!!

    How nice. I love those kind of cabinets where you can fold everything up and out of site when you need to. I think that is an excellent use of space.

    You are going to LOVE having a designated place for your sewing and quilting. Someone I know made a portable design wall. I'll try to contact her and find out what she used to put it together.
    No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.

    Thanks Sylvia, I'm getting excited! Maybe the closet clean-out won't be so bad. I'm so new at this, I may not need a design wall right away, but if/when I do, I'll definitely have to be creative, so any info/ideas will be welcome.

    Hope plans for your daughter's wedding are going well and Happy New Year to you and yours!

    So glad you placed the order. Enjoy the anticipation and preparation, and, oh yes, the wine, too. Would love pix when you get all set up! Maybe your design space could start out at about four blocks square and see how much you use it.

    Hmmm, pix of the wine . . . . pix of me drinking the wine . . . . or maybe pix of me drinking the wine in front of the well organized sewing cabinet???

    I'll do some day dreaming . . . or night dreaming, since I'm usually not yet asleep, on the design space - cause first I need to decide what my first 'real' quilt is gonna be. I've been watching some Jenny vids and today I browsed the quilts in the Holiday Block Magazine that was emailed to me. I guess I need it to be for a novice but maybe not too easy. I'll inventory the fabrics I have as I organize for the cabinet and maybe then ask for advice based on fabric I have. Well, seems it's officially 2015 . . . 2015, a brand new year, gotta get used to that.

    That looks awesome!!! I really wish I could fit into something that size... but unfortunately I'm a bit of a pack rat with way too many crafts going.... quilting/sewing, scrapbooking, knitting/crocheting... the list goes on and on.

    I actually have spent the past four days moving my craft room from the smaller bedroom upstairs into the much larger, master bedroom that is downstairs right off the kitchen. Our bedroom is upstairs and the room was being used a spare bedroom. Decided to take advantage of the bigger size and make things easier. Now I've got my cutting table in a permanent space, along with homes for all my machines. As soon as I get everything put away, I'll be posting pics. So excited to get to work
