Sewing Room

Hi everyone.

Dave and I finally went shopping for some furniture yesterday. Most of it has to come from the warehouse so we'll pick it up Tues. or Wed. But I got a killer deal on a counter height table that I am going to use in my sewing room as a cutting table. Love it. Here are pics of my whole sewing room so far. I might change up a few things.





The new table. It's great, no more back ache bending over.

My sewing table with the design wall beside it. Those are temporary curtains. I am just trying to decide what to do on the windows.

The ironing board that is essential in quilting. Don't like it right in front of the bookcase but I like it close to the sewing machine.



Some of my stash of fabric. I have plastic bins in the closet too. Oh and my roll of batting I bought from Christine before moving! Enough for a few quilts I hope.

And my sewing view. I am working on getting a good deal on a walking foot. So I can get started. I decided after seeing Rachelle quilting on Liz's quilt I will piece quilt tops then send them to her to quilt on Chris's long arm. She is getting good.

So that is my sewing room.


Are these cute or what? Do you want one?

I have loved this fabric since I saw it. It is called Full Circle by Kathy Schmitz.  I took me awhile to find the right pattern to use with it. I finished it and Carol Burkhalter quilted it for me. She has a computerized long arm machine and did this all over meander with hearts. It was a great gift to me before I moved.

That's all I have for today. Enjoy your day.

What have we been up to?



This is what Dave has been doing.  2 ceiling fans and 2 window blinds.  I just walk around trying to find a place for everything. I did sew some things last week, but no pictures. And I had to give the walking foot back to Vivian that she was so kind to let me borrow for the last two years! So I need to save up and buy myself one if I'm ever going to put a quilt together again.


This is Tyler's baby quilt that I never blogged about. I got the kit from Chris's shop before I went to Sequim last summer. And I sewed it after everyone else left. I was hoping to get it done there but we were having to much fun.
