I didn't answer some of the questions on my last post. I don't have a room devoted--that is why I'm running out of room! Textiles/quilt books in the office/sewing room, on one shelf. Straight how-to sewing books in a small case on top of my pattern cabinet--only one drawer actually holds patterns, and I've been weeding them out. Other drawers hold utility fabrics, interfacings, and craft items. Then stacks of books wherever they will fit around the computer, mostly from the library, as I write my book. Upstairs, in our bedroom, two cases with costume books and one with miscellaneous histories on subjects like Lewis and Clark and plantation households. Another two cases with the Time-Life History Timeline series, old college texts, and other odd subjects. Finally, a tall skinny case in the corner of the guest bedroom with my Jane Austens and all my slides, organized in binders (Yes, I finally did get that done, as they sit their becoming obsolete.) Sewing machines--A wonderful Bernina I bought in 2000. A 1970s era Singer that was my husband's and I guess I pretty much wore out--after repeated trips to have it repaired, it still won't form a decent stitch. My Kenmore that I got for graduation in 1973. Finally, my mom's White Rotary that she bought used during the Depression, so not sure how old it is. It is in storage right now and needs a new plug. Oh, and a Pfaff serger that I got in 1992. What would I save in a fire? Probably have to grab my laptop first, before any books. Ann Wass Ann Wass
