Organizing my sewing space
I woke up this morning deciding to change my sewing space. I need more room to accommodate quilts. I also did not like where my ironing board was sitting. I actually hated getting up to go to the ironing board. Besides, I get enough exercise dealing with kids all day. So while my cat Rocky watched nervously, I moved everything around and this is the result:




I put the table in front because I want my sewing machine facing towards my t.v. I enjoy watching or should I say listening to the t.v. while I sew.

This is a shot of the otherside of the room. The playroom.

Poor Rocky, whenever something is moved around he gets so stressed that he yowls. Poor old man.
During my dd’s dance lesson I registered for the finishing class on my sampler quilt. She said that we will never forget how to baste/pin a quilt together since we’d be helping each other. I thought I’d better take it. Besides, I enjoyed this class. This group of ladies were all very nice.
Tomorrow, I have to work on the sashing and border of my sampler. If I have time, I’d like to get some cutting done on my next quilt. Hope so.
I also bought the “stitch in the ditch” foot. I did some stitching in the ditch on my apron and found that my standard foot and applique foot did not work so well.
My mom seems to be interested in my quiltmaking. Interested meaning she wants one. I told her that everyone will get one. She’s getting one for Christmas. I also loves the colours I choose on my sampler quilt. So I think she will like the fabrics I chose for her quilt.

Your sewing area looks fantatstic (and very organzied)! I’m feeling guilty, if you could see the wreck that my table is in – I should start cleaning too!
