Beth I was going to comment that you were very smart to leave rm on your walls for your quilts..lol I too love to find my sewing rm decor in thrift shops and now my walls are so full of decor no rm to hang quilts....aren't we ladies funny lil creaters.

Well I may be taking one down so I can hang a design wall. Bought a 42" shade that I want to attach flannel to and hang it. Then when I need to put blocks up to view I can pull down the shade. When I don't need it down I can put it back up out of the way.

I love to spend time there. I put everything away at the end of the day. I DO NO LIKE to start the next day of with a cluttered room. It doesn't take but a few minutes to pick up.

Well up until a month ago you would have had a place to sleep. I took the daybed out and opened my cutting table up. Wow, that sure gave me more room. Decided the grandkids are all grown and wouldn't be comeing to spend the night anymore, and if they did they could pull out the sofa bed.

Beth I have one guest rm left and boy there are days it would be sooo tempting to take it over...lol Keep telling my honey if we get company, which is very rare we have lots of nice hotels close by..lol

Ok you really are my twin, I am the same way, right now I have a applique project and one of those very fancy beaded xmas stocking sitting in progress on my cutting table and the madness behind leaving it is to hopfully get it done but in all honesty its driving me nuts.

Of course you may, I got it from someone else on the board. Tehehehe, so I can't take credit for it.

Ladies you have great sewing areas.

Started TODAY to get into reorganizing my sewing area / basement. Gotta get rid of this STUFF.

Keep posting pictures - it's encouraging.

I like the "after 25 years at the kitchen table" remark - I'm on the dining room table so I don't have to constantly clear out, but ... still have to move when everyone comes home. My living room is my piano studio - I give lessons - and just this weekend found that I have spread into that room. The piano kids can enjoy looking at my works in progress! So 24 1/2 years to go and I can have a dedicated room, too!

Wow, you wouldn't need to want for inspiration would you, all you need do is go and sit in there, wonderful!

The drawers under the bed frame would have to be adjusted a bit, but not a whole lot. there's fiberboard on the "slats". I'm going to have to look at it and see if I can use it.

Ok,featherweight--on your north window wall you have a shelf with the sewing buddies that were seen and mentioned in another persons quilting room---where did you get yours? Tons of people are looking for them.

Am I dreaming. What a stunning sewing studio.

I got mine at the LQS. I have had them for about 4 years though, so I don't know if you can still get them. Let me do some researce and get back to you.
