I finally got a sewing corner!
 

I haven't been active here for quite a while due to personal reasons. But that doesn't mean I've not been quilting! I'm currently hand quilting my mom's birthday present (she'll be 70 next month, so I'm in a bit of a hurry to finish! Will show it when done), but I'm looking forward to finally sew (and quilt if I manage to learn that!) by machine as my mom's vintage Bernina 830 is staying with me. Today, I was IKEA shopping for a table to set it up. Here's the result:

I know it's a pretty small table, but it just fits in that corner of my kitchen/dining area, and I can even fit my cutting board on it. It saves me vacating the dining table after sewing as I can just leave it here. I'm thinking of getting a small cupboard for the corner next time I go to IKEA with some drawers to store notions etc.

One of my first projects will probably be a cover for the machine! Anyone knows of a free pattern?

Nicely done. Your setup will work great for piecing but if you are quilting anything larger than a wall hanging, you will need more support for the quilt so you are not fighting the weight of the quilt. Good luck in getting it quilted in time. :)

Cute setup and a great use for the corner!

Your sewing corner looks great. Of course, you have a wonderful machine sitting on it. I love my Bernina 830 that I bought in 1975. It is wonderful to do FMQ on. Have fun.

You are off to a wonderful start! Enjoy your new quilting experiences.

It will be so nice to have a corner of your own. I hope you will post a picture of your machine cover when it is done.

Nice setup and good lighting.

Great spot! This google search gives lots of ideas for a free cover https://www.google.ca/search?q=free+...w=1280&bih=867

I celebrate with you! Great space for your sewing. I look forward to watching you as you make it your own! Having a spot to leave your machine set up is key to enjoying your craft.
Congratulations!
