Love your sewing space. Such a nice place to create.

Thank you for the reminder to enjoy every moment with our babies.

Honey, that's no studio- it looks like a quilt shop!!!! :D
What a nice way to spend time with your daughter. I have 3 boys but when they were little they all learned to sew. Loved the way machines worked. My oldest came over just a few weeks ago and we made nice dinner napkins that he wanted. He bought all the fabrics and they were gorgeous!! We had fun and it reminded me of when they were little guys :D

What a blessing! When my daughter was that age she had very little interest. Did do a quilt in the one home ec class she took, but no more yet. However!!! This past weekend she got fabric to make a couple of halter tops so maybe the sewing bug is biting again....of course it could just be the fabric acquisition bug, which she got in full measure from me!

Nice space! I have a largish (for a bedroom) space and am thinking about moving the cutting table to the middle of the floor as well. Do you like it there and how do you keep it from becoming a "catch-all"?

It's so nice the two of you can do somthing together. My niece got a sewing machine a couple of Christmases ago and it has not made it out of the box. I have offered to take her to find fabric and patterns (she wants to make tops ouf of knit materials) and to sew with my friends when we get together, but so far, no luck. I hope soon that she will want to do it again. I would love to have her sew with my Mom, her grandmother. My Mom would be tickled pink, but my Mom is not one to do the asking.
