One of the rooms that received the new carpet was my sewing room, so even though I have used this same room for years, it feels nice and fresh and new, because we painted it as well. I changed the set up a bit too.
I took some photos, while it was still relatively neat! My Q20 that I use for quilting and free motion thread painting, is still in the same corner. It's a nice light area.
My quilting and designing templates are stored in this white chest of drawers. The brown sets of drawers on top hold the Madeira embroidery threads that I love.
My domestic sewing machine is in a different spot and along side it is my computer area.
My new purchase is a combined cutting table and ironing board.
I really love my new set up, it's working so well. What I have noticed when I looked at the photos that I took was that I haven't hung any work or pictures on the walls yet, so it is looking a bit bare. That's the trouble when you paint the walls, you don't want to mess them up.
I have started a new quilt, it feels so good to be inspired again. I actually did a bit of really traditional patchwork for the first time in years.
I sewed some strips of fabric together.
Then I cut them and resewed them into squares.
I don't like having to be so precise, I find it a bit tedious, so luckily I don't need much of it.
Here is a sneak peak of the quilt that I have started, I was inspired by my Morocco trip.
I am the guest speaker at the Patchwork and Quilters Guild on Saturday, they want me to talk about Art Quilts. The good thing about it is that I don't have to bring all my big quilts for a change. I last spoke at this group many years ago, so it will be good to see them again.
Bye for now,
Linda
