Well, it's done. My new quilting table is in. It's organized, clean and I am pooped........LOL
The concept of my quilting table is the same as HQ's Sweet Sixteen setup, only larger. Bailey's new table is 60" x 40", the bookcase is 29" x 15" and it's 30" high. My husband rounded off the one corner so I didn't take of half my hip running into it, plus is prevents the quilt top from catching on it. We bought some crates from Micheal's, the big book case my husband made me last year. It holds my quilting books, magazines, my yarn and knitting stuff, and my cool red Bose Ipod dock sits on top. I have storage under the table for my silver tubs filled with scraps of various sizes. The big blue tub is my UFO storage (only 2 UFO's are in there) the quilt on the trunk is a top I bought at a church rummage sale for 50 cents. I am hand tying that one. The closet is an extra stash spot, it is my fleece stash. as well as a catch all on the other side...LOL The antique hutch belonged to my husband's father. I think its a cool piece of furniture. Don't panic Ladies!! The main horde of my fabric stash is in the other sewing room. I didn't want you to think I had gone off the deep end and lost my stash. It's safe......LOL Enjoy the tour !!! |
Great room. Love it when a quilter actually hangs quilts in her quilt room!

That's a fantastic room!
On the chair by the window, do I see a little pet bed for your quilt inspector? |

Lovely bright & cozy room. Looks very inviting. I am sure you will love creating in that space.
|
Glad you were able to get your room together. Time to make some quilts :)
|
Looks great - a wonderful place to escape - What do I see outside the window? that dreaded 4 letter word - SNOW
|
That's a comfortable looking sewing room. I think you need to mess it up just a little. Go have fun sewing!
|
Everything looks wonderful. I know you will have a great time in that room.
|
You have a wonderful room. I know you will enjoy every minute spent in there. Good for you.

Snow isn't such a bad 4 letter word. I like it, sure it's a mess to get around in. But around here it's welcomed. When it melts it seeps down to the aquifer where we get our water. |
Thanks everyone.
Today I have to get my main sewing room cleaned up. And I rearranged a couple of pieces of furniture in other parts of the house so that needs to be cleaned and put back together too. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back to sewing before my machines think I abandoned them. |
Wow, great set-up. And not crammed with stuff. That's how I'd like my space to look someday.

Thanks, it looks that way because I am blessed with two rooms for my hobby(s). I can't work in a messy or cluttered work area. |

This week I am making a fleece vest for my husband. The one where it zips up to cover your neck. And I am making myself I jacket to wear around the house made from leftover pieces of very colorful fleece. |

I forgot to take pictures yesterday on the insert that allows the machine to be taken out. And the spool holder offset behind the machine.

What a spectacular setup, especially the desk! Good job! Regarding the desk, I'd like to know more about how you recessed the machine. Is there one solid piece of wood at the very bottom on which the machine sits and then a second piece of wood, with a cutout, on which the surface of the quilt moves? If not, then what did you do? Thanks!

Hi Cricket
The recessed part is 11" x 36" x 3 3/4". A smaller piece of material was cut just a little bit bigger than the bottom of the machine, the other thin board is there as a spacer to raise the machine to the proper height. These pictures should give you a better idea on how this was done. |
Nice room.....Bet you enjoy your time in there...thanks for sharing....
|
What a fabulous room, I love it!
|
A very nice bright room--enjoy!
|
Thanks Ladies. I am still hoping to get in at least one of my sewing rooms this week.
I still have two rooms of the house to clean. Now if Kola the cat could learn to clean as well as she naps and inspects quilts I would have it made...lol |
I love your new quilting room! It is functional, pretty, light and cozy. You guys did a great job! Enjoy!!

Thank you so much! These pictures let me see that you used L brackets, which is a smart and relatively easy way to do it. I was making it too hard to do in my mind.
This is a wonderful room and great equipment. Congratulations on your fine job. The edges are finished with a melamine tape that irons on. Gives it a really nice finished look. |
Your room looks great. Like it's ready for inspiration and production! :thumbup:
Love, love your fish quilt. Do you mind sharing the name of your pattern? I have some batik that I can't figure out what to do... really like your idea! |
