Tracy! So much in one post! We are alike! I too have my own tools! Use them and not my DH's! See "clear" tub for stash. Wish i knew how to do your first quilt..one binding! Anddddd, you must not have a sewing room. We are twins! Ha ha.
Signed, hobby bee always working on more than one thing! Ell |
Nope, my sewing space used to be the family room adjacent to the kitchen. DH converted our garage (mind you garages in Alabama are HUGE and could fit 3 cars, tools, and laundry/misc storage) into an apartment for his mother. When he built her shower, we had to move the washer and dryer upstairs into the family room. We also have a dining room we never use so we converted it into our office. Formal living room is now family room. After all, we simply are not that formal! I never saw the use in a room that never gets used :D. DH also built me a workshop outside, complete with heat and AC, but guess what? It's so crammed with his misc tools and crap that my work benches are swallowed up! Well, he does need to keep his tools out of the rain and since the metal shed leaks, his table saw, compressor, misc other saws and tools need a place to live. Sure I clean it up once in a while. He is so grateful that he can now cram more crap in there. One day I will get some use out of my never-used band saw!
Do share what your other hobbies are, or at least point me in the direction for the correct thread :D |

I'm working on a traditional Hawaiian quilt for my son and soon-to-be daughter in law. They are getting married in Hawaii, and are the type of couple that already have 'everything' so I am going to give them something unique. I took a class through Quilt University to learn about this, and so far I have finished sewing the huge applique and am now doing the border. All has been by hand. Their wedding is next May, and I hope to goodness I started it soon enough to get it done in time. [ATTACH=CONFIG]351287[/ATTACH]

1st pic is of GFG that I started last April when I was still driving my 18 wheeler. It was what I worked on when I was being loaded & unloaded & now it's my TV time project. I've got 14 more flowers to go out of 110 til finished. 2nd pic is titled "These colors have no fear". It'll be a wallhanging & a show quilt with HEAVY quilting on it. GFG is all done by hand, Eagle's flying geese is 3-D.

I'm doing flying geese. Still have about 200 to go. No, I don't use any tools or special ways of cutting, just do it the
old fashioned way. There will be 2 rows of them framing a log cabin quilt I've made for our bed. My DH is so excited to finally have a quilt for us!!! |
an UFO xmas quilt from 1995 which I just finished quilting and I am now binding (photo to follow) a pink scraps quilt, Dutch tile blocks, and DJ patterns to be done next. Variety is my motto!

Just lovely, great job and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
