Wendy over at Inky Threads asked people to show her their stash/quilting areas. I have my sewing machine in the kitchen, where most people might have a kitchen table! I am supposed to have my sewing area in the basement, but it is a catch-all room, of toys, exercise equipment, drums etc. I much prefer to sew upstairs in the light and with everyone.
Since my sewing room is in the main part of the house, I have to keep it limited and neat. The sewing table is my grandmother's old sewing machine cabinet. I keep a few fabrics in the bins beside it, mostly up-coming projects and things for inspiration. I keep my cutting mat under the couch and cut on the island in the kitchen. I also have room to set up the ironing board when I need it. I lay out quilts on the "design floor" in the family room. I have been much more productive since I moved upstairs, this works out well, and my family is used to working around it. I still have a few bins and sewing things in the basement.
Looks a bit messier now, I am organized to sew the blocks together, should be done soon.
