area where I share with dh and his machines & cutting table. The area where I work (cannot have my back to the room, to many years in a school room) with pressing, sewing and cutting area. My FWSQ stash; more of "our" stash; unfinished UFOs, dh area of cutting and sewing plus bookcases of quilt books, and closet full of boxes in two rooms not shown...do I qualify for the SABLE club??

looks like a well loved room. =) How cool that you and your Hub sew together.

BeckyB 08-23-2011 07:58 AM

Would love to have the stash that you have!

Grama Lehr 08-23-2011 08:01 AM

WOW!! :shock: You have a lot of fabric!
I am showing this page to hubby, he can't say a word about my baby stash pile after seeing all of yours. :wink:

My quilting room looks REMARKABLY like yours!!!!!

4EVERquilt 08-23-2011 08:06 AM

Man!! I would have a wonderful time going through that stash. I saw a bucket up there that said bird fabric. I love bird fabric. If you ever want to sell some let me know.
You have a huge selection of stuff.

love it. what is the top of quaker oat for? my quess is for drawing circles.

QuiltingNinaSue 08-23-2011 08:46 AM

Scraps from quilting so into the boxes...dark, medium and light. A friend loves to go through them and make blocks out of the scraps for charity quilts.

Jingle 08-23-2011 08:57 AM

Beautiful stash, looks like you need separate rooms.

Melinda in Tulsa 08-23-2011 09:12 AM

OMG, I have that exact same sewing table your hubby's machine is on! I bought it at JC Penny's about 35 years ago!
It is set up in my sewing room with an extra machine on it. I use a 6 ft heavy duty banquet table now adays since my machine has a plexiglass extension. This is the only other one that I have seen!

Maggiesmom 08-23-2011 09:52 AM

Glad to know I'm not the only one with a massive stash. Need to share this with my DH too.

Marvel 08-23-2011 10:28 AM

I would love to visit and sew in a room like that. I sew every day. I too have bookcases full of quilting books. I have so many and read so many times I can find a pattern so fast. LOL I think it great he shares your love of sewing. I will look up the farmers wife block as I do not know this one.

Its a QB group FWSQ that has completed the 111 blocks this week in BOM section. Laurie Asron Hird produced the book The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt that we followed. I never would have finished without the encouragement of Anne and the others who published their blocks here every Wednesday. Through trial and err, I have finished the blocks, now to complete the sashings and king sized quilt. Many have posted on the QB BOM site. All are so beautiful; its impossible for me to chose a favorite one.

dixiebelle162002 08-23-2011 11:01 AM

I would feel right at home except my husband doesnt sew (I wish he did) Now I don't feel so badly that my room is so "well loved". I like that expression.

Jo M 08-23-2011 11:06 AM

Yep, I'd like to help go through all of that stash too. Mine is a baby stash next to yours. So nice that you & DH share the space.

Jabear617 08-23-2011 12:02 PM

I don't know how I would feel about sharing my sewing room with my hubby. He does help me when I need him to but I kind of feel like this is my space and I am not ready to share it. I would love to go into your sewing room and check out all of your fabric:) Very interesting:) Thanks for taking the time to show us:) I love looking at all your stash:):):)

moonwork42029 08-23-2011 12:08 PM

OOOOHHH would love to go through your bookcase #2 with the paper piecing books...drooling :)

blueangel 08-23-2011 12:16 PM

Nice stash.

Dianemarie 08-23-2011 12:24 PM

how do you know who's stash is who's ? I would have a hard time sharing what I have stashed .... hummmmmm

QuiltingNinaSue 08-23-2011 12:58 PM

After 45 years of marriage and raising two girls and a boy, its OUR famly, OUR money, and OUR sewing room and OUR stash. He does ask before he uses any thing in case I have mentally planned a project. We talk over major purchases before we spend the money. There is only so many $$$ in retirement; not enough to argue over.

quiltsRfun 08-23-2011 01:55 PM

Thanks for sharing. That makes me feel a little better about the condition my sewing room is in.

stitchinwitch 08-23-2011 02:17 PM

Hey - I would volunteer to help you with your room if you help me with mine-It looks about the same

Krystyna 08-24-2011 04:23 AM

Except for the teddy bears and pie tin, we're twins!

MDMPanther 08-24-2011 04:45 AM

Oh my goodness!!! I would so enjoy just rooting around in there seeing all the treasures!!

meanmummy 08-24-2011 05:02 AM

:thumbup:

Tweety2911 08-24-2011 05:05 AM

How wonderful to share a love of sewing with DH! I think it is awesome! Lots of space and a huge stash!

quilter68 08-24-2011 05:41 AM

Love your room and I think you can put $200 away every time that you finnish a quilt from those fabrics. A quilt shop touring vacation would then be in order. Travel and fabric shopping - nothing better.

Stitcher317 08-24-2011 05:58 AM

Great playroom!

Greyhound Mom 08-24-2011 06:19 AM

fun looking at your room!

Therese 08-24-2011 06:22 AM

And I bet you know where most everything is, too. I love the fact that you showed us your REAL sewing room. Enjoy and Sew on!!

crazy cat lady 08-24-2011 06:29 AM

SewhappySue 08-24-2011 06:31 AM

Oh my Oh my, love the lived in look and warmth in your room but how do you manage to find anything? A very well loved room.

champagnebubbles 08-24-2011 07:16 AM

You win :)

wvdek 08-24-2011 07:27 AM

Wow! I would have a hard time starting any projects until I got organized in there. I am sure you know where everything is though. How awesome you can share teh same space and all.

I must say that I loved all your "ours". So many of the young couples (and some in the middle) now seem to say "my money" and "his ( her) money". I cannot understand that for some reason. I thought marriage was a union. My DH and I have money in each of our pockets (kind of an allowance) each week but the rest is "ours" and we decide how and when to spend it. I am not sure I could do this any other way. Of course we do have our own rooms now that the kids are gone but they are not off limits to either of us. Your comment was refreshing!!!
