A very nice organized space! Bright and welcoming.

Thanks for sharing your amazing space. Very welcoming and creative..took me a while to work out what a hoosier was..what a great piece and is perfect for your area.

Oh I do sooo like your room :D The hoosier brought back memories of my grandmothers kitchen. Absolutely adore the valance :D :D

Love the old cabinet! I still have one like it but never thought of using it in sewing room.
You have a lovely room.

Love your valance...do you mind if I use your idea?

Sure would help with depleting the stash.

Room is great...

How did you make that wonderful valance!??? Please give instructions - including how many strips you needed.

pollyjvan9 06-06-2010 05:34 AM

Really nice room, and I love the idea for the valance. Think I will do that in my utility-stash room.

SuzieQ54 06-06-2010 05:46 AM

Thanks everyone. You're welcome to use any of the things you see. I got them from things I seen on the internet or in magazines. I moved the hoosier in because it was in the garage and my sister said if I didn't find a better use for it she would take it. Ha! It really holds a lot of things. My brother use to live in a house that had a Holly Hobbie girl painted on the wall. I always wanted to do something like that so I thought a quilt block was appropriate for the room (and a lot easier). For the valance I used 4.5 x 15 inch strips. I did buy some fabric because I wanted them all to be different. I bought 1/8 yd and cut 2-4.5 x 15 strips (I made 2 valances).

What a great space..you did an outstanding job organizing it. I adore your valance...I think I'll do that..maybe today! I just wish I had a Hoosier :wink:

Love, love, love the valance!

mysacrifice 06-06-2010 08:41 AM

Love your room! How artistic of you to paint that block on the wall - great job! I must say though, my favorite part of your craft room is your baskets. I love every one of them! Especially the first big one!!

I'm copying the valance! Great idea,,,and if I need a piece that is up there, I can exchange it for another one.

annette1952 06-06-2010 12:15 PM

Nice sewing space. I love the valance!

SuzieQ54 06-06-2010 12:40 PM

I hope I didnt' mess anyone up on the valance. My strips that were 15 inches when folded. That means they were 30 X 4.

craftybear 06-06-2010 12:42 PM

cool idea on your valance, thanks for sharing

I don't want any of you to see my room. All of your sewing rooms are so neat and organized. I especially love the valance. That is a nice idea.

hexagonquilter 06-06-2010 03:37 PM

Love your sewing room. I like the Cricket in the corner. Do you dabble in scrapbooking or use it to cut fabrics? Love the valance idea.

moonrise 06-06-2010 03:42 PM

Love the room, and the valance is just adorable! No way would I post photos of my sewing and craft rooms. For one thing, they're both a MESS! And my sewing room is just a little over 9' square, and there's barely room to turn around in there, much less take a photo! LOL! And my craft room-slash-home office-slash-bird room is FULL of beading supplies, scrapbooking stuff, and zebra finches! :mrgreen:

I might have to try making a valance like that. It's so cute! :thumbup:

pab58 06-06-2010 04:22 PM

Love your valance! What a great idea!! :thumbup: I also like the little storage containers for your FQs!

I wished I had a room for my crafting. Right now, it is all over the house! Ours is a doublewide modular home, so the kitchen/dining area has my machine and sewing all over. Your room is very nice! I love your decor and the theme of Quilting there. I can tell it is your home away from home. Someday, I hope I can have the space I need for my creativity.

NannySandy 10-10-2010 02:35 AM

Wonderful work space. I love the valance.
