My Quilting Space
9 Attachment(s)
I live in military post housing so the rooms are tiny. I turned one room into my sewing room when my son moved out. It took me months to organize everything. I use comic boards and empty bolts from my LQS. I am realy grateful to them because they were more than happy to collect them for me. The table came from IKEA and it cost $50. It is two sided and it folds to something tiny that can slide under my bed. Amazing! The Viking 500 is a loaner from Tirolgirl on the board. It has European voltage and I love it. The strips are scraps I usually cut up after a project. I cut most of the 1.5 strips at Torilgirl's house one evening and ended up making about 32 log cabin blocks when I got home. I love Tirogirl's log cabin quilts. The Featherweight I brought from a member of the board along with a 99K that is not shown. The machines are in excellent condition. I love them too. These pictures were from a month ago so my sewing space no longer looks like this. Stuff is everywhere but oh well...

very nice. I like how organized you are. I've done that too and get lots more sewing done.
Hope you get lots of thanks for being part of our forces |
Wow, very nice room. It amazes me how fast we can fill a room up, but yours looks great and a nice variety of fabrics.
|
Ohhhh! Your sewing room looks great, so neat and organized.
|
Wow, I love your organization ideas. The labeled bins for scraps are a great idea. Might just copy that if you don't mind. Every thing in your room looks so great.
|
Awesome, beautiful space to craft in. I'm sure it helps to be organized in tight quarters. Great job! :)
|
You made it work for you and that is what counts.
|
Boy, that looks like a large space to me!lol Lots of fabric and wonderful organization. I wish you could come help me as I have a huge spot and don't know how to organize it better. Great job.
|
Goog job! you made this room look a lot bigger than you described. So well organized and such a big stash. I am envious! Congratulations!
|
I just love your sewing room! Your stash is so beautifully organized. What a great, inspiring place to work!
|
Very nice room. Just the way I like it - neat & tidy.
|
Wonderful space! Thanks for sharing.
|
You have done a beautiful job but do you not worry about light & dust on all those fabulous fabrics? (Not saying you have a dusty house) I'd really be interested because I find cutting creates dust.
|
First, thank you for your service to our country. Military housing can be tiny but you have certainly set up a great system that works for your space. I like your scrap bins and you have a very pretty stash.
|
I can just see ideas popping when you walk into your room!! Beautiful and organized.
|
Beautiful space!!!!!!! So well organized!!!!!
|
Beautifully done. No matter how long it took you, it certainly is worth it. Might try some of your wonderful ideas.
|
Oh my gosh! A very nice, neat, clean room! WOW!
I really enjoy seeing what a room could look like. Thank you. |
What a neat sewing space! :)
|
I'd like to thank you and yours for their service to our country. Military families have to sacrifice so much. Your sewing room is very well organized.
|
Love your quilting space. You are very organized and have a very healthy stash.Thanks for sharing.
|
You really know how to organize!!!! That is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
|
way to go :thumbup: Looks like you know how to really pack a space and make it look nice. Love your table.
Not sure we have an Ikea here. I'll have to ask my dd...guess that makes you and enabler, lol :D |
The labeling idea came from Tirolgirl. Now SHE has a STASH. A whole apartment dedicated to quilting. I LOVE her quilting rooms. Her quilts are amazing! I cover my exposed fabric with quilts in progress when I am not in the room. It works for me. Also, fabric does not stay in one place long enough to fade because I give lots away, swap and buy. The best place to get a good variety of different prints is from fabric.com's 3 pound remnants for $19.98, thrift stores and estate sales. Goodwill.com is excellent and the bids are almost always low.
|
I love your organization! Those bins are terrific.
|
your stash is fabulous,,,,you are so neat,,wonderful and thank you for being part of our armed forces.....

Your room looks so nice. Have a great time in there.
|
It's so organized! I'd love to have just half the fabric you have!!! And half your skills, too!
|
Gee, that doesn't look like such a small room. You've done wonders making it look spacious. Love your organization and fabic collection. Now have fun sewing.
|
You did a great job, that's what I need to do, thank you for sharing
|
Wow -I'm impressed - thanks for sharing.

Love your room! Love your stash! Love your ideas!! Why is it I don't see anything stacked in front of things! I have stacks on top, in front, and under everything. And right now I'm working on a quilt and have had to move to my mom's house to spread things out. Also use our bed, but have to move things out for the night. Not a good thing. You could give lessons. Thank you for your ideas and, most of all, thank you for your sacrifices. God bless you and yours.
|
I wish I could be as neat as you are! Great use of space.
|
Very nice and beautifully organized. I bet you love it! Dianne

Wonderful organization! I recognize that camo backpack. My DSIL let me take one home when we visited last summer and he was off to the "sand box". It has a broken clip somewhere, so he got a new one. That puppy holds a LOT! He has since retired from AF, but I'm happy to have the souvenir. So glad quilting helps you with the stresses of military life. You deserve the best.
