This is my sewing room. I have taken a bunch of pictures.

I have two windows for the natural light I so enjoy sewing by.

My design wall is lightweight purple carpet. Couldn't pass up the good deal we paid for it and it works well for what I am using it for.

I collect Singer stuff, as you can see by the one shelf. My favorites are the machines and I am most blessed to have a bunch of them as well. Not enough room in here for them, so the rest of our Singers (8) reside in our living room with the other 10 machines we have. Hubby has his recliner and I have a glider/rocker. No couch or love seat. Had to have room for the machines. lol

My sewing room is a wonderful place to create and most times I spend my afternoons here sewing and catching up on the quilting forum.

Your posting made us laugh. Wait until I post the pics from our living room. We have a combination of sewing machines and Civil War antiques. Museum is in our living room. lol
Here's the quote in the frame.

"Marriage is like an antique quilt stitched together with love and meant to last a lifetime!"

luv-e 11-18-2010 04:50 PM

Thanks for the quote.
Are you sure we don't need to pay money to have a tour through your home??? hehehehehe
Can't wait to see the LRM.......excited. DH is a Civil War nut!! Reads about it all the time........

mommamac 11-18-2010 05:21 PM

Your room puts me in mind of my sewing room. I have a huge bookcase with books, ND i LIKE TO GO TO THE THRIFT STORES AND FLEA MARKETS AND and find wooden wall racks to put my thread and stuff in. I will put some pictures on here one day when I can get my camera from my daughter. She is using it now. I love my sewing "studio" ha. dont you?

I love my room too. I lose track of time when I am in there working. Most evenings hubby finds me in there enjoying my quiet time sewing and listening to music. So peaceful and relaxing. Looking forward to seeing your "Studio".

What a wonderful room. I want one just like it.

amma 11-19-2010 01:54 AM

I love your Singer collectibles!! What a great sewing room :D:D:D

dewie45 11-19-2010 03:20 AM

This makes me think of my mother's Singer and my grandmother's treadle. I too have some of my mother's threads in a green Mason jar, only with a lamp conversion lid.

Are you sure this isn't a museam?

Great room.....surrounded by the best

Elsie 11-19-2010 07:34 AM

wow love it i like old thing to i got a singer and murcury machine and couple of old irons

kapatt 11-19-2010 07:52 AM

I enjoyed seeing your room and your vintage singers. I collect vintage singers too but I have decided that I won't collect anymore. (Too bad because I loved the 201 that you had in your pictures and I haven't collected one of those.) I have 13 vintage singers plus 3 modern machines.

IBQLTN 11-19-2010 07:53 AM

Great pictures!

By far my favorite is the laptop computer sitting next to the vintage machine!

jlm5419 11-19-2010 08:04 AM

I also am nuts for vintage sewing machines. Most of mine are Singers, but my first treadle was a Standard. Other than my embroidery machine, my newest sewing machine is a '70s Kenmore. Next is a '60s White I inherited from my mother. My Singers include a 2-99s, 27 treadle, 101, 201, 221, 301.

I love the fact that they are simple, sturdy, and they will likely outlast me. I got a real thrill when I tested my vintage buttonholer on my Singer 27 treadle and it worked beautifully.

I keep up with what is happening on the 'Board' while I sew.
I have learned so much from being a part of this great community of quilters.

I like your room. I really like the quote framed with your piece of a quilt:

"Marriage is like an antique quilt, stitched together with love and meant to last a lifetime."

May I use the quote, and make something similar for my DD, who is to be married next June?

Please use it. So fitting for your daughter and her upcoming marriage.

That framed quote was a wedding present from a friend when hubby & I married. I had not started to quilt yet when we got married. I have only been quilting a few years. Hubby & I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary in August of this year. Someone knew I would be quilting and it really fits in my sewing room.

May your dear daughter be as blessed in her upcoming marriage as my hubby & I have been. God is good.

I like your display of Singer items that you have collected.
Your room looks comfy with all those vintage machines. I like your thimble display with vintage spools of thread above.
Thanks for sharing!

Wow, everything looks sew cool. Would you decorate my sewing room? 'Course, I would have to clean it out. lol

You seem to know how to maximize space. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

:-D

I would love to come and decorate your sewing room. It would be fun cleaning it out together, although I think we would talk and laugh too much to get much done. lol
