What a wonderful room, I know you will enjoy sharing with you Mom, boy can you do a lot of creating in there. Enjoy it and post pictures of projects you are woring on.

Raggiemom 01-25-2011 05:49 AM

I'm jealous--that is fantastic and it's great you get to share the space with your mom.

quilter68 01-25-2011 05:53 AM

Oh that is so beautiful! The dresser idea is terrific!
Thank you for sharing this.
Now I understand, everything is bigger in Texas! Just kidding. I traveled 1000miles in Texas one time and barely touched the state. We went in a circle from DFW down to Padre Island and hit the major cities on the Eastern side. Beautiful state.

Wow - that is almost bigger than my house. You 2 are very lucky

Chrys 01-25-2011 06:00 AM

drdolly 01-25-2011 06:05 AM

sooooooooooooooo jealous. It is wonderful to have such an area. Enjoy with your mom.

Tally Kathy 01-25-2011 06:06 AM

I envy you both for the great room and the Mom you still have. Obviously you cherish her.

Wow! What a beautiful room! I can tell you will enjoy it.

I've seen a lot of photos of sewing rooms that I like, but yours takes the blue ribbon. How fabulous that you and your mom share the studio.

Beautiful. Use it well

Can I come to your house to play? Thank you for sharing your pictures. We are in the thinking stage of how to redo a bedroom into my sewing room. Your pictures will give my hubby some more ideas for storage and cutting room. I love spending time with my mom also. :thumbup:

lillybeck 01-25-2011 06:30 AM

I think I would have to live there. lol

Stitchalong 01-25-2011 06:31 AM

Quilting Pastor 01-25-2011 06:36 AM

How beautiful! Those cabinets look better than the ones in my kitchen!!! I love your space.

fireworkslover 01-25-2011 06:39 AM

what an inspiring space... and to share with mom is a plus

dmyers 01-25-2011 07:18 AM

OMG, if there was heaven for quilters this is what I'd dream of. The best part about it, is that you'll have many cherished moments to share with your mom. Thank you for sharing!

Riverton Quilter 01-25-2011 07:22 AM

A great space to be creative and together with Mom. It also looks like you have a "green" view from the windows. I've never seen pickled wood walls, very pretty. Enjoy!

craftymatt2 01-25-2011 07:46 AM

Boy am I jealous, great use of the space and all that storage how nice for you and your mom. Have fun

WOW what a wonderful room for you & your mom to enjoy ! Where are you in Texas ? Can I come visit and play sometime ?? I sure miss my Mom, we would sew & craft together too. She didn't quilt but she would knit or crochet while I quilted. Good memories :)
BTW, where did you get those great colored baskets with handles ? I need some of those !

katlady 01-25-2011 08:35 AM

Really an awesome setup you two should have lots of fun times together, a beautiful craft/sewing room. Enjoy every day.

SewExtremeSeams 01-25-2011 08:36 AM

Wow, Lizzygail, you are so Blessed! To craft with your sweet Mom and to have that room.

We live about 65 mi. NW of San Antonio - West of Bandera. Baskets came from Hobby Lobby.

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 01-25-2011 09:28 AM

OMG!!!!!!! how awesome is that??

DebbyT 01-25-2011 09:41 AM

The best I have seen up to now. If I were to copy I like your design wall. Hey, I like it all, but since my space is so limited, I would probably store fabric there and make the shelves a bit deeper. The doors can also protect the fabric from the light. Enjoy!

Ilovemydogs 01-25-2011 09:48 AM

WOW WOW WOW!!!! totally awesome space. That is great that you and your mom can work together, I would love that!

Katts 14 01-25-2011 09:54 AM

So it's true? everything is bigger in Texas!!!! It's big enough to teach classes in thier. Have Fun

Poakie 01-25-2011 09:57 AM

O Wow! I want a room like that.

Cdrlinda 01-25-2011 10:16 AM

mrsreeves2 01-25-2011 10:18 AM
