Just got my Mother's Day gift from Hubby and installed by son, Love the fan!..Here's pictures around my little sewing den.[ATTACH=CONFIG]412850[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]412851[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]412852[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]412853[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]412854[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]412855[/ATTACH]
The fan is the new addition, and I love it, BTW I do sew on all these machines, just not at the same time lol, The hanging hankerchief quilt was from all my mom's hankies. My hubby also made the quilt hanger a few years back. Thanks for looking. The Singer treadle bottom was his mom's.

Beautiful and sew neat and organized! What a wonderful gift from DH and how sweet of DS to install it for you. Now when your need there firing up all those machines you can be coolin' it too! Love all your antique machines. DH and I have several, just ran out of places to display them all. So happy for you and your wonderful space. Thanks for sharing the pics. This is my favorite place to look at on the forum!

If I can't be in my own quilt room there is not much I like better than visiting someone else's.
Thanks for taking the time to share.

Love your space with all the cabinets and counter tops. Did I count 7 machines? Or did I miss some?

That little pin cushion was a gift from my sister, so I contacted her today. She said she had it for a year before she could remember to get it to me. We see each other only in the winter months when she is also here in the south. She thinks maybe Tuesday Morning store, but to look at the cushion and see if it had a tag. No tag, so sorry I can't help other than that. I've never been in one of those stores, so no help from me. Thanks for your comments.

Wow! Love your space, and love your machines especially the black and white Featherweights. What a nice gift the fan is, to make it just perfect. Enjoy!

Yep... 7 machines. One of the Janome's is an embroidery machine. The Singer 66 redeye is the most fun to piece on, but no reverse. The Singer 15-91 is what I'm practicing my fmq quilting on. The machine does great...me not so much yet,... but that's why they call it practice, I guess. All the beautiful quilting on here (the Board) inspires me to keep trying.

GREAT room!!! Great gift!!!

Carol34446 05-12-2013 03:34 PM

Great seweing room, and you have the only sewing machine still on my want list, the white FW. My mother had one and I stupidly let h er give it away, she even asked me and had I known what I know now I never would have said yes. Sewed so nice too.

dellareya 05-12-2013 04:45 PM

Your sewing room looks very inviting. I love your little "white" featherweight. Thank you for sharing. I love the fan in your room.

Grandma Peg 05-12-2013 04:58 PM

Love your cave and new fan. Very organized, want to do that to mine? lol

sparkys_mom 05-13-2013 03:47 AM

What a nice room. You will love having the ceiling fan; it makes all the difference in the world.

wolph33 05-13-2013 06:08 AM

kathymarie 05-13-2013 06:31 AM

Very nice! I'd love to see a close-up picture of the hanky quilt....maybe you could post it in "pictures"....altogether lovely. I'm a pianist so I especially appreciate the musical mixed with the sewing. Blessings...

Grace MooreLinker 05-13-2013 06:51 AM

Gorgeous, wish I had a bigger room but thankful for what I have , which I share with my husband's computer .He is learning to make the patterns for my embroidery,so can't complain too much. Grandsons just put in track lighting for us.
Husband is waiting for his appointment to have eye surgery.

Jingle 05-13-2013 07:34 AM

Very nice room. I have a ceiling fan also. I love them, not in the way.

Wanabee Quiltin 05-13-2013 11:23 AM

I love your sewing machine. I do not use my ceiling fan as it blows everything around. Your room is just beautiful.

nanna-up-north 05-14-2013 03:14 AM
