I had to move too; I've been away from home for almost 14 years and I still miss friends and family (wish I could say it gets better, but I guess I'll always miss them). I've found new online quilting groups that have been wonderful though. You inspire me, dear soul!!Cathy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032374496238223012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-64656179011891804462016-02-26T18:36:29.136-06:002016-02-26T18:36:29.136-06:00Wow!

You did a great job turning it into a quilting...sanctuary? refuge? I hope you don't mind that I have adopted your quilt cave moniker for my space. I am in the basement and even have a husband who starts complaining after awhile if I spend too much time downstairs. Oh, and I deal with those icky cave crickets but no roly poly bugs. I envy your natural light in the new space. Seeing your massive project has given me the last nudge I needed to reorder my fabrics. I need to gather the colors together and re-sort my bins. And label. Always love the labeling.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455236914872943577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-36345835686188785752016-02-24T23:59:20.770-06:002016-02-24T23:59:20.770-06:00That is a serious work space!

I also love that you're keeping your mom in your space. I would still think of it as a quilt cave but if you need a new term, how about The Warehouse? You know like when you go in a store and something isn't on the shelf and they need to check the warehouse to see if they have one?

I enjoyed finding out how you are sorting all your boxes and where to put them, gaining a couple of ideas for myself.<br />Having a glass hobby myself in the past, I'm sure you will enjoy carrying on your Mothers work in the future.
