My little piece of heaven
 
3 Attachment(s)
Here are some pictures of my sewing room. My quilting supplies and stash are on the left side of the large double closet. When we first built the house, our builder asked if I was sure I didn't want a clothes pole in the closet. I told him I certainly did not. I already had crates full of crochet thread and yarn and needed shelves, shelves and more shelves! Now that my hands won't let me crochet anymore (arthritis at base of both thumbs), I'm slowly filling the space with quilting supplies. I can sew, because the machine does most of the work! LOL.[ATTACH=CONFIG]303435[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]303436[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]303437[/ATTACH]

QuiltnLady1 01-15-2012 03:43 PM

You have a great space -- mine is much more limited and I fight it all the time.

Canada Kate 01-15-2012 03:54 PM

Wow, you actually sew in there? It's as neat as a pin! Seriously, it's a great space, thanks for showing us!

It's in those plastic boxes on the 2 middle shelves on the left of the closet. I don't have a large stash, but I get by. (Or should I say "buy?")

jillnjo 01-15-2012 05:13 PM

Looks like a fun and "clean" space for sewing!! I'm hearing you about the arthritis in the base of your thumbs-I have just begun to feel that in my left hand and I don't like it!!

Very tidy. I believe most of us that have a designated space for our hobby/hobbies realize how fortune we are.


I love being able to walk out and close the door if the need arises :-)

Best,

I'm sure you would be totally happy here even if someone said you are going to be locked in this room for a period of time. Your color choice for your walls is very calming.

joysewer 01-16-2012 06:57 AM

Great space............sooooo organized!!! I wish mine was that organized!

damaquilts 01-16-2012 06:58 AM

Lovely room. Your sewing machine table is wonderful. :-) I see hinges, Does it fold down?

Pieces2 01-16-2012 07:43 AM

What great sewing space! Looks like you have everything you need to make those quilts.
Our sewing rooms are such a 'personal' space for us quilters. We gotta have them, gotta love our space. :)

Yes, the left side and the back fold down. Since I can get around it, I figured I may as well keep them up. Trouble is, the more surface I have the more surface I use! LOL If you think it's neat and tidy, you should have seen it before Christmas when i was making table runners for gifts. Neat and tidy? No way! They say, "A creative mind is a messy mind." (If "they" don't say that, then it's just my excuse- lol)

By the way, my table is a Tracey Table. They're made right here in Wisconsin, and the quality is super. Price is right, too. You can check out their website at http://www.traceytables.com. They have a lot of different styles. Found it at a LQS, and Tracey goes to a lot of quilting shows all over.

Heavenly indeed! It is so neat and organized too! I love your big sewing table with your machine inset.

caspharm 01-16-2012 08:23 AM

Oh how I envy you and all those shevles............. I am so happy for you that you are still able to use your creative juices and sew and quilt. As I just don't know what I would so without being able to sew, quilt or craft in someway.

carla m 01-16-2012 09:35 AM

wow its so organized im impressed mine never looks that straight even when its cleaned up i need to go thru my stash refold and reorganize but it took weeks to get the rest straightened up where i can work maybe ill take vacation this summer and do it. but most of the time i can stuff so i guess i get by lol.

kittykatz2001 01-16-2012 12:30 PM

Thanks for the addy for the table. Just love yours. DH is pretty handy and he's retiring at the end of this month. I have a long "to do" list to keep him busy and out of trouble, LOL. When I clicked the link it couldn't find it. But this is the right one www.tracystables.com. Just a matter of the s being left off. Your room is super. I like that you used a table to make a big ironing board also.

dd55 01-16-2012 12:42 PM
