Our newly setup quilting space is ready.

Hello to all,
We are just about to start on our our first quilt and this is the setup we put together last weekend in the basement. We hope to find some time to get on with it later this weekend. Snow removal gobbled up a good portion of the weekend but provided us a wonderful stroll along the banks of the Delaware at Milford.

Enjoy! John and Mary

Looks like you're ready to go. Love the pair of Singers - are they 301's or 401's?

crafty pat 02-10-2013 08:14 AM

I love your setup, looks like a wonderful place to create. I see we share a love of the 401A. Love that machine. Your photo of the river is so beautiful. You are so lucky to have a place of such beauty to walk. Thank you for showing it to us.

nice pictures. Barb

Looks like a perfect place for your quilting adventures to begin. Just a heads up, your room may never look that pristine again! Hehe!

happyquiltmom 02-10-2013 11:26 AM

I think you two and I would get along very well. Your walls are knotty pine as are mine, I also have a 401A, and have a water feature in my front yard (we live on a lake channel with a wetland across the way).

Beautiful scenic picture! Great sewing area, looking forward to seeing your first quilt.

vondae 02-10-2013 10:08 PM

How do you sew when you have scenery like that to look at. Gorgeous & so is your sewing space. I love the wonderful wood cabinets. You are going to be having a lot of fun there. Welcome to you both!!

kathbug 02-11-2013 04:54 AM

My husband is setting up his woodworking are in the basement where I do all my crafts so that we can be together also.!

Wow, what a setup!!! The pic is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!!! Should be in a magazine or postcard... Wow. God's creations are awesome, huh?!!!!

katesnanna 02-11-2013 08:23 AM

Welcome from Australia, John and Mary. Looks like a sweet set up you have there. The scenery is beautiful but doubt I'd survive the cold.

michelleoc 02-11-2013 08:43 AM

John and Mary - love the space where you will be working together.

cowgirlquilter 02-11-2013 09:43 AM

Oh my goodness, how wonderful both pictures are!!!

kaleda 02-11-2013 10:41 AM

What a clever & practical set-up for two people sewing! Don't envy your snow removal epic, but your scenic picture is gorgeous.
Best Wishes!

Wow, great photos! Your sewing room looks so neat and serene. It will be a wonderful place to create. The river shot is spectacular! I know you must enjoy walks there. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to all for your kind replies and encouragement. It helped us find a bit of time to get into the room and do the cutting for our first quilt. Happy to report all twenty fingers are still attached, we took turns measuring and wielding the cutter, and in the pic below are the stacked seven rows, each with five blocks, and some scraps for us to experiment on.
…. the outdoor picture this week is actually two weekends old, taken a few miles northeast of town near Mongaup Falls Reservoir in NY.



Everyone enjoy... John and Mary

How lovely that you can quilt together facing each other! I loved the pic of the river also, with the crisp snow around it. Happy sewing to you both may you create lots of beautiful items and inspire each other as you bounce ideas off of each other!

Nice space - isn't it fun to sit down to sew in a neat and clean room!! Beautiful space.

ube quilting 02-28-2013 05:44 PM

Love your space and where you walk. I walk there too! Aren't we lucky!
peace

tropit 03-02-2013 01:37 PM

Great set-up, lovely scenery. I'm glad to see that you have 2, very practical, work-horse machines set up and rarin' ta go! Have fun.

janetter 03-03-2013 02:19 PM

What a blessing to have a couple share the quilting experience. I often dream that one day my hubby would find interest in it. Your pics are wonderful and being from NJ understand your snow shoveling experience. Welcome, John and Mary to the "WONDERFUL" quilting board!!!

Mariposa 03-04-2013 10:47 AM

Terrific set up for sewing! Scenery is great too! Happy sewing!
