To the UPstairs of our home that is! Gotcha!
Although it would be nice to move on up into the
pattern designing world;) One can dream!
I have a feeling this new space will inspire me just fine.
The hubby,Josh built a new computer and with that bought a new desk recently. Therefore,he needed the space to put it in. That is where his loving,wonderful wife stepped in and said "Sure honey you can have my sewing space!"
Actually I suggested it and it was no skin off my back. I just like to give the hubs crap every once in awhile. Keeps it interesting! I mean what quilter wouldn't want a whole bonus room to herself. I created the little "wall art" if you will, out of some sort of wire I found in the garage and some tile cork boards. This really makes me happy and it has been a "want" for some time folks! I can also display my fancy schmancy white shelf with rulers for all of my cutting desires;)
I mean it just
killed (hello sarcasm) me to have to go buy new furniture to house all my pretties. (I have wanted this set up for a long time truthfully) I am a direction reader to the "t" so I read ALL of those dang directions and built myself a new storage nook!!
Can you tell I had some fun after all that paper reading mess? Some vintage handkerchiefs at the top for a comfy feel. A vintage thread spool holder from Josh's Grandma. A little bit of solids to spoil myself with eye candy. Little bit of this and a little bit of that.
This is a wall of my heart treasures. A picture of my baby boy in one of his first Halloween costumes as a cowboy. Another framed jewel of my honey and our little prince. A cross wall hanging to represent my faith in Jesus and nearby a painting that I recently received from one of my Grandma's near and dear friends from Art school long ago. The painting of a hummingbird and flower IS the only painting I have from my Grandma's life passion believe it or not and so it is highly appreciated by me. She can watch me sew whenever she pleases now;) Miss you Grandma. To the far left there is a small 4x6 of Josh and I from our special night together after he had proposed to me!! In the center there is a needle holder with Holly Hobby on the front. I made this from a tutorial over at
Terri's Notebook. Terri was one of the first blogs I started following and since then we have become friends.
One would think that with a bigger space comes more room to lay out a quilt for basting right? Not so much. A little furniture moving and I was in business.
If only I could shoot that ginormous T.V. out the window that is sitting proudly in the corner of the room now:/ Here we have a boy quilt top all done. It. is. a. handful. Interfacing coupled with outfits, with applique on a lot of them makes for a heavy load!
Played it smart this time too. I sewed on the bible verse and then my label first.
Before quilting began! I pieced some more of the outfits into the back as well. Another checked off the list!!!!
