This other is my Dad's machine I got upon his passing...it would have been my Stepmom's mom's sewing machine...a treadle....used a lot!!!enjoy

Ohhh and I'll be right over, I'll bring the chocolate!!

Thank you and yummm yummm coffee's on or glass of milk.... :D

i disagree. not too many, at all. each pictures shows something different. if i had a room like that i'd want to show off every nook and cranny, too. there's nothing to fix. :wink:

Aladdin's cave - much better than any French quilt shop.

i sure enjoyed looking at all the pics of your sewing room. It was fun. Sure wish mine was tidy. I'm sharing space with my son til he/they get a place of there own. SOON I HOPE...... I wanna spread out. lol

I need some in my room ( no room to move around in ) . Can I browro your husban for awhile.

WOW!! AWESOME!!
Can I come play in your room??

Well when our son went in the Navy I took his bedroom.... :lol: Well I have an eight room house and more bedrooms...except he keeps telling me his bedroom upstairs is haunted.. :shock: :lol: ...Well It hasn't hurt anyone yet :lol:

My Uncle said my set up was better than Wal Mart...ha ha...I just decided to use all that wall space... :D sure glad my DH is handy...and loves my quilts...he is always asking what I'm doing next and why haven't I got it done :roll: well gee whiz I gotta think :D

I do have some order to the madness...I swear my fabric keeps breeding...I tell myself I'm not getting anymore fabric...yeah and the sun isn't gonna rise... :lol: :lol:

Great quilt room!!!

I have a question-in the picture of the left wall (the wet pic where Loretta has been drooling over the pink star!) you have a rod with some kind of clamps hanging from it. I love it-it looks like you have fabric and patterns "clothespinned" and hanging there. Is this a curtain rod? What is the fabric clamped with? I think this is a great idea. Where did you come up with it? Can you give me more details and maybe a close up pic? Thanks!!!

Hey Loretta...good eyes that's whats left of them doggone stars I've done...four left for pillows...to go with that last star quilt... :D

Marcia....good eyes..yes this is a curtain rod and on that is the clip rings that are for the round circle things you sew on curtains...didn't like how hard they were to push so I found these clippy things with magnets on them that are real easy to open and don't leave to bad pinch marks l hope the pictures are close enough for you if not I'll try again oh I found these at the dollar store :D

THANKS I love it!! The close up pictures are great and I am definately going to have to steal your idea. This is just one of the reasons I love this board-there are so many great ideas out there and you are all so willing to share yours. Thanks again!!!

You have bolts of fabric!!!! OMG!!! That is awesome!!!! Love your room- I have deep rooted sewing room envy and I'm bright green right now! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Now, I will whine to hubby- I want a sewing table, I want shelves, whine.

Awesome room!

Barb

I am going to surprise all of you and make all of you envious with my sewing room!

Er, that is when I set it up.

I like to sew with my mom. So, I throw everything in the car and drive up.

But, I have a basement that after some overhauling will be my new sewing room.

But, that's months away. In the meantime, I'm admire how you make the most of your space and keep organized. You're a real pro!

Great sewing room, I would never come out of it! I noticed the bolts of fabric also. Don't think Iv'e ever had a whole bolt to myself. I'm envious!

Love that curtain rod and clips idea! I use pant hangers with the clips to hang strips on, but that is only 2 clips. This idea is way better!

mgshaw....I use the hangers too... now they have the squeeze kind that are real nice to use...I use mine for my blocks that are on hold...works nice huh.. :D

Cordelia... Janstar... Barbm...
I don't come out of my room to often...I even have a radio,T.V. and dvd,vhs, cassette and cd players and my computer is a spin away from my sewing machine 8) ....just need the coffee pot and a snack jar oh yeah I got that :roll: and yeah a potty chair...ha ha :lol: as for the bolts of fabric...don't let them fool ya...whenever I buy more than 3 yds...I ask for the bolt and when I get it home I roll them up on the cardboard....now some is almost or is a full bolt... cause I went to a sale and the price was right and bought the whole thing...well I use the fabric on the back of my quilts... so sometimes that will take 9 yds...depending on the size....so girls don't be to envious...I'm just making it look good :lol:

I'm not ennvious of your wonderful sewing room.
I am happy that you have a great place to create your wonderful quilts and a husband who supports you in it.
Enjoy and go create!!!

KO24.....Well that's mighty nice of ya... :D

hope this helps Ken

I am just curious. I noticed that you purchase some bolts of fabric vs the fat quarters, etc.. Is this fabric you use all the time..your favorite??. I find myself wanting to buy a bolt of something I really like but just have not done that yet.

What an awesome sewing room. You have quite a stash. I love the treadle. I have a new home treadle. I got it for my BD. I want to get a belt for it. Just haven't had the time to go looking.

Jeannie....I do have some full bolts...I did buy because the price was right and I liked the fabric...when I make a queen size quilt it will take most of this fabric...there is usually 15 yards on a full but....but I'll get at least 10....Some of the others ar just put back on the bolt from the store....If I buy 3 yards or more I try to put it on a bolt....don't like all them folds I have to iron out is my main reason plus if I find a pattern I know will take more than 3 yards I just have to scan the room....see there is a system to my maddness :lol:


Bill'sBonBon....Thanks ....my treadle needs a belt too I think I priced them for 19.99 or 29.99 ....I still have the old belt and will see if I can repair that first...let me know if you find a belt too..

Thanks, makes sense to me! I too hate to iron the folds.

:D :D :D You do have a great room...I love the old machines...You must be very proud of your achivements.... :lol:

Oh wow, you have a great sewing room. That's what I aspire to someday. Right now my "sewing room" is in the living room and consists of a couple of boxes and bins tucked away under the end tables and sewing table. :? Though if I had a room like yours, not sure if I'd ever leave it! haha

I think its a great space. As long as it work for you and you can find everything...I know what is in each of my areas even if I cant see it. lol

nanci


p.s. I just found the cutest Halloween fabric shopping in my own room. I forgot I had it. And don't lie you have all done it too. haha

Awesome room. Once my son moves all his stuff out, I can spread out more in my sewing room.

Jeannie.....I thought so too.... :lol: :wink:


ania755...Thank you...I do love my room...DH must think I do okay cause he sure supports my habit..... :lol:


HisSunshine.....I don't leave to often....got lot's to do.... :lol: :wink:

Nanciii.... Sure does work for me...there is a method to my maddness.....and don't move a thing .....I pretty sure I know exactly where everything is....ummmmm until I need it.... :roll: The other day I hunted all day for something and found it right beside me...... :lol: :lol: Brother... :roll:

Bevanger......I'm so lucky!!!! :D
