This is the place where I sit for hours to work on my quilts! I like to watch/hear the TV or listen to music while I quilt. It's one of my favourite places in our little house...

I too like to handquilt while listening to the radio or TV. I love any kind of handwork, esp. applique although I don't do it too often.

I usually set in the family room with my DH while he's watching tv. I find it very relaxing when I'm hand quilting. I'm currently working on a quilt for my older brother and hope to have it done by his b-day in Nov. It's a surprise for him so I'm not on a timeline to get it done(I don't like to quilt under pressure).

love it wish i had a place to set and look that way
