It's small-maybe 7'x10'. But, it's cozy. I don't have a design wall, but other than that, it works. This room is right off the kitchen, so I use the table there to cut. I could move upstairs--convert a bedroom to my quilting room, but it might be lonely up there. :wink:

Very nice - I am drooling over all the strips and the fabric in that closet!!

Loved how u made the arrangements for the jelly rolls! Very cozy in there!

Jelly rolls? Hmm--what are they? I've never purchased one. Are they strips?? I cut all those babies. :wink: I've purchased a few fat quarters, but stick to yardage 98% of the time. The one empty rung will be filled soon--I have a few more to cut up for another floral log cabin.

Just wonderful, I'm drooling over the 'high end' thread...love it! Your space is organized! And I'm jealous that you are downstairs close to the kitchen..my other love! I'm into cooking and baking and the kitchen is the hub for me. I've converted my guest room into my sewing room/guest room. But I'm thinking of getting rid of the bed and just have my sewing room. I do have an aerobed and a sofa bed downstairs...so guests would have a place to lay their heads.
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

MaryAnna--I vote to get rid of the bed!! :-D Since both kids are in college, I can leave the table full of sewing stuff whenever I need to. Hubby doesn't mind. It's handy. Plus, I can take a break to read emails--and lunch doesn't take any time away from my project. :lol:

Hmm....I think I not only need to come play with the horses, but need to play in your stash too! That's a great space you have there! Yummy, yummy stuff!!!

Very nice! I love your rocking chair spool and pin cushion too.

Great space and that quilt is gorgeous! love the ladders, where did you find them or did you make them or your DH make them for you?

Karla--thanks for sharing your sewing room with us--makes me want to clean mine up, too!

lovely space and love your ladder idea! :thumbup:

sewnsewer--that rocking chair was made by my grandmother's brother for her. Her name is on it. Since I'm the only granddaughter to sew, I was honored to receive it.

skj--the ladders came from my son's antique shop--when he had it at age 13-17 (He started on bikes at age 10, now buys/sells cars.) One is oak, the others pine. I love to use strips--so decided these worked well. I cover the rungs with fabric. My hubby took the last one in the shower with him to get it clean. :wink:

Love it barnbum! Great space, and so colorful! How do you keep the ladders up? Are the just set up next to the wall, or do you have something holding them there?
That is so cool, I think I will find a space for a ladder too!

They are just leaning against the wall--works fine.
I need to change my calendar and use up some stash... I keep trying NOT to buy more.

I love your dogs!!!!

I am jealous of not only your sewing room but your stash as well. Can't wait to see the completed project on your ironing board

Lucky YOU barnbum!!That is so cute!

You have a nice area to sew and create. How long have you been quilting? You have lots of fabric!

Great looking room Karla. Love your ladders - have been looking for one at the auctions, but haven't seen any yet. You are so organized and productive.

Sorry double post.

I would really like your thread collection. I am so jealous. Love your little room and by the kitchen whats not to love.

Karla---I love your room-it is so cozy and I love that it is right off your kitchen.

Tell us about the quilt on the ironing board.......

About 16 years. There are a few issues: 1. I tend to make scrappy projects without the stash--and that makes a lot of stash. 2. I used to buy books when I was stressed, now I buy fabric. 3. For so many years we were so careful about every penny spent--now that's paid off--so I can buy fabric more freely. I told my husband I feel like it's my very merry un-birthday every time I buy fabric. I will use it all--I will. :wink: My rule now is nothing gets purchased unless I know exactly what it's for. The project ideas come a lot faster than I can get the projects done. I need to be retired. :roll:

I will... when I post them. :wink: It's my own design and every piece has a purpose/reason. There are four tops nearly done...then I hope to get them quilted this week. Maybe.

How did you get the gutterman thread caddy?

Awesome room. Mine is twice that size but oh so much more cluttered!!!

LOve your cozy,colorful space! The ladders are just perfect. Would love to squeeze one into my space.
Thanks for sharing,
lots2do

Joanne's--on sale at Christmas time...it was under my tree. I bought it for hubby to give me. :lol: If I remember correctly, it was $70 for all that!! It's the kind my machine likes best.

You have a nice room there Karla!!!
You certainly have beautiful creations coming out of there on a regular basis!!

Nice ... small is ok ... better than not having a room at all. It is hard when you have to pick everything up and put it all away every time.

Nice Stash!!!! Bravo!!!! My kinda girl!!! :lol: :lol:

What a wonderful sewing room. I am envious.

I don't let it get too cluttered--or I can't stay organized. I pulled everything out today to clean--as in dust it thoroughly. Hubby vacuums and is afraid to go in there. :lol: I try to spot check it, but a few times a year, it needs to be nearly bare to be cleaned.

I thing if I had a bigger room it'd tend to get more cluttered because I could--there's no room to allow that to happen here.

Great room. Love that it's off the kitchen. But I think you need more fabric :!: :lol:

Love how you have everything organized yet easily accessible. Isn't the Guttermann thread great? Hubby got me that thread collection for Christmas too! Nina (my machine) likes it best too! what type of machine do you have?

Great sewing room, I'm envious!!!

Having a space just for our quilting is so fabulous! You have a warm and inviting workspace to enjoy. Lucky You!

OMG i wish i had that much fabric, i would be having a lot of fun, i am jealous, lucky you

It's so great to be able to dedicate a space for sewing. I am totally impressed with your thread (you have them all!) and your fabric and fabric strips. I think you are ready for anything. Your quilt on the ironing board is great.

Thank you for the tour! I like it! <wave>

Very pretty sewing room!!! I love how you have everything so organized :D:D:D

love the ladders that are holding all the strips. Nancy Zieman does that in her sewing studio. Nice stacks of fabrics and love the blues and the black and whites.... Very nice... wish mine was that clean.
