(and, yes, I am nosey...what kind of sewing table is that??So curious)

Yes Marcia...it is the right book :)I too love this stuff!! This was the first block called 'hedgeapple'...I am now on the oak leaves one...it is almost finished. But, I get easily sidetracked for that is Miss Jump in pieces on the right of the design wall and I just finished piecing her together and prep work is started for her applique too:)That is from Brannock.:)Let me know what you make out of that book...I love all of it !! Skeat

THanks quiltmaker for these!!

Wahoo shaverg!!! Give me that window!!:)Love your room too!! Isn't this fun to tour everyone's space and save on the gas mileage?!!! Thanks much for sharing your creative space too!! Skeat

Thanks, Skeat.

I laugh because I say I finally have a quilt studio. Thanks to my DH and Ikea.

Wow -- I just love everyone's rooms. When I pick mine up the next time, I'll post pics :oops: :oops:

My sewing room is the smallest bedroom 9x10 I think...I wouldn't give it up for nothing. ha I'm a stacker as you can see

oh wow, twice....how did that happen..LOL sorry about that

I envy all of y'all with such nice sewing rooms... or really a sewing room period. I'm still just a beginner, and am living in a tiny apartment... so I'm just stuck using the kitchen counter. :cry:

This has been a great thread to get ideas. Love seeing everyone's space.

boomwooshblahh...There are many here that are limited on space and have really great ideas to make use of smaller areas. Maybe they will post w/their ideas soon. We've talked about it in chat before. There are many great plastic type of containers and some w/wheels that fit right under your bed. Some have even added lifts on their beds to make them a bit higher to slide bigger containers in storage there. Keeping their fabrics folded, even by color. When they pull out the container, there are all their colors easily at hand. Also, you can use the silverware trays..and, there are fun ones out there made out of wire or plastic. Even individual ones. These can hold all your important cutting tools from rotary cutters to scissors and small rulers. You will find in the quilting breed that we all are...we are savy!! I personally may not have a huge stash of fabric, but, can really stretch what I do have in many ways. Before this room I presently am in, I sewing in a space of about 4x5':0)Which was big enough for me to sew one direction and get up, turn around to cut the next:)Best part of sewing in a kitchen is the ergonomics of our countertops...perfect for our cutting boards to cut our fabric on w/the best height! I bet we hear from more w/savy storage ideas, etc, no matter what the space! All any of us want to do is create:)Skeat

Linda...love your storage under your cutting table~!! What a great idea!! Skeat

A good cutting area is a drafting table and it fold up. It is a wide table, great for cutting, drawing etc. The height is wonderful.

Just an idea for cutting. I conficated my husbands that he used in college. It is great.

Here are a few pictures of my sewing room. It also happens to be the family room and the computer room, but as you can see, I have spread my quilting all over the room. I just took these pictures a few minutes ago with no lights on, just the natural light that comes in the sliding glass door.

A couple more. We don't use the fire place very often (last time about 5 years ago) this room stores 6 broken chairs that are in need of reconstructing. My quilt books and some of my quilt magazines are the 3 lower shelves on the skinny case My sewing desk has a back piece that comes up to give me a nice big work surface. It also has 3 positions for the sewing machine so I can put the machine all the way down and put a piece that fits in the hole to have a desk top. The door I stare at when sewing is going out to the garage. So When it gets warm in here, I just open the slider and open the garage door and I get a nice air flow, also have a ceiling fan I turn on. If I step about 4 steps into the garage I can get into my extra fabrics. The main computer is in front of the desk just to the left of the garage door. Often times DH is on computer, I'm sewing and DS's girlfriend is on couch and we can talk while we are all there

Please don't despair -- I think most of us started out that way. I used to sew on the kitchen table. Had to pick up and clean up after each sewing session so the family could eat dinner. Hated it so didn't do as much sewing as I wanted. But your day will come.... :wink: :wink: :wink:

We all started the same way. I use to live in a mobile home when I first start sewing. It took me 20 years to get a space of my own.

I used to do all my sewing on the dining room table and had to clean it up cause we have a small group Bible study here every Tuesday night and need the dining room table for the coffee and snacks and stuff.

Gayle...I am coming over....I see a blue I could use....I'd tell you there was a dog in your back yard...grab quick!LOL Love your light!! And, who can't love all those quilts?!!! Skeat (thanks for sharing!!)

I have that same sewing table. My DS made me a cabinet that fits on the left side...Love it

This is the best tour!! Everyone's rooms... even on the other threads...:)Wish we had a perm. spot for our 'spaces':)I'm trying to make a mental memory file in my head on ideas!:)LOL Skeat

I LOVE those cabinets!! Gonna put them on my wish list....

Here's my newly reconfigured quilting room, too!

love everyones rooms....one thing I wish I had was a TV in the room. Don't know where I would put one. LOL My DH always tells everyone (especially when I spend an hour looking for something) what goes in that room never comes out.

That is funny Linda...did you dare him to come in Linda on a 'special' invite?!LOL I have my tv and dvd on my plastic handled drawer system dh made me...:)There is always somewhere to sneak one in...:)Love to listen to movies when I sew.

he goes in periodically to emply the waste basket other wise he steers clear LOL

Here's mine! :D

And a couple more, my stash has grown a little bit since the others were taken in June! :D Someday I need to organize it better....

Love your space Diana! I'd love to sneak in and sneak a peek at your books when you aren't looking!:)Love the window!....Skeat

I love all of your sewing areas - our home in our home :D ! Here's a few pics of mine... :D

Love seeing everyone's quilt rooms. My DL just bought me the most comfortable glider and footstool at Walmart. I have my TV, wireless laptop, great place to do my sewing, reading and handquilting, what more could a girl need. I do have to come out occasionally for food and water. Our poor pup can't understand he comes in just to see what I am doing and gets his puppy hug and then he is happy and off he goes for an hour and then back to check in on me.

This is my sewing room...I call it my nest.

Great pictures Skeat, your own personal space. Makes sewing and quilting fun, don't have to fight for space.

this is embarrassing. i have my own space and it's still disgusting. no excuses.
