The shop owner must have been wanting to get people signed up for classes as she told me it was an easy class. I would not recommend that for a beginner. Fortunately, the instructor was very good and we hand pieced it, so it turned out. Did you paper piece yours?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-25529379582230277522009-01-20T07:52:00.000+00:002009-01-20T07:52:00.000+00:00Your sewing room is lovely!

I didn't leave a comment because I kept getting called away or the dial up was killing me.<BR/>I just love LOVE LOVE your little craft-sewing room. I'm a little organizer by nature and seeing your room just made me feel so good. It's so perfect with all the little boxes and supplies for your projects. I actually went out and bought some materials at JoAnne Fabrics yesterday. I still don't have a sewing machine but I now have 6 yards of fabric! Art said that was little hmmmmm....(I forgot the word he used..... excessive?) since now I'll have to make room for it in our luggage back to Hawaii and it's not like we don't have fabric stores in Hawaii. <BR/><BR/>Ah well... your room made me dream.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-5941141829776475662009-01-17T13:38:00.000+00:002009-01-17T13:38:00.000+00:00its amazing what ideas and tips you pick up from t...its amazing what ideas and tips you pick up from talking to other quilters seeing their work and looking round the sewing room i love the idea that you have the narrow cd rack but using this to store fabric instead using rainbow colours. Thankfully I still have one of this up in the music studio so hee hee im going to pinch this back again and put fabrics in just like you.<BR/>Ohh I marvel at your lovely mariners compass Im not that clever yet but i hope to achieve this one day.

I would like to have a go at one some day. They look challenging. The divan cover looks good and a good idea to use the stitchery blocks so you can admire them all the time.

I've always thought it was lovely, but very intimidating. Especially with the circle around the outside. And to do it not just once, but twice is quite ambitious. Your sewing room looks like it is coming along very nicely. It will be so lovely to have a real sewing home and not feel like you are invading someone else's space.scraphappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472985095648633397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-3118087374870727682009-01-15T23:17:00.000+00:002009-01-15T23:17:00.000+00:00Lovely colors on your Mariner's compass and great ...Lovely colors on your Mariner's compass and great use of the stripes in the middle.

My hubby says I just need to get rid of a lot of stuff as our bedroom is crammed packed with all my sewing and craft stuff! I am holding onto it all in hopes that one day when the kids are all grown and gone I will have a room to put it in! Since it has gotten colder weather here our calico cat, Mollie, has taken to getting under the quilt on our bed to sleep!<BR/>Have a Blessed Day,<BR/>Dianecrafty dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071469435959091830noreply@blogger.com
