Sewing room is operational

Throughout September we have been slowly moving into our new home. There is still more Stuff to move (OMG we have way too much!), but at least my sewing room is set up as of tonight. I pulled out blue and yellow scraps that were already cut for little bitty 3.5 inch friendship stars and stitched 8 blocks. Wow that felt good!

Tonight’s work was the only sewing I’ve been able to do in September. I made it to two weekly sewing group nights where I started cutting plaids for a bear claw quilt - which I will not let myself sew until at least one of my TEN unfinished quilt tops is quilted and bound. 

Here are a few pictures of my new sewing studio before fabric scraps migrate and take over.




Back in that shadowy area (forgot to flip on the light), there is a long closet that is now filled with hanging quilt tops, extra batting, and projects in progress, plus another set of shelves filled with boxes of scraps sorted by color. Eventually I will finally empty out the rest of the moving boxes, hang up some decor and my makeshift design wall / tablecloth.

While packing up my sewing room, I discovered another old UFO and lots of orphan blocks. I also found a disturbing quantity of precuts - layer cakes, charm packs, fat quarters and even two packs of 6-inch strips. Confession time...is your stash of precuts nearly nonexistent, okay or wildly large?

  1. Yay on getting your quilting room set up at the new place! Having just done that a few months ago I know how awesome it is to find all we have forgotten about and reorganize it for the better!
    I do not have too many precuts...more charms than anything. Used most of my last jelly roll to do the Jelly Snowflake quiltalong mystery which was fun!
