NEW SEWING ROOM

I have finished setting up my new sewing room. I love the way it turned out. A new floor, new paint, racking and bins for storage. A quaint space for me to do my sewing where I can leave things to finish later instead of having to pack up and set it up again. A great use for a room that was just used for storage previously. Lots of work, but well worth the effort.

FLOOR FOR MY HUSBAND'S OFFICE

We just finished installing my husband's flooring in his office. It turned out amazing. We are so happy with the new look.

SEWING ROOM

Last week I put 2 coats of paint on the walls and ripped up the old carpet. Today my husband and I put some new hardwood floors down. We started this morning at 9 and we joked about having it finished by noon and we did just that. And we even took a break. He put the flooring down and I did the sawing and fetching. I must have gone up and down the stairs about 50 times. Good job I had my knee brace on. I went to Lowes and got some quarter round and we thought we would get that on before we seized up. Tomorrow I'll paint the quarter round. Then I can move my shelving, table and ironing board in there. It will be so nice to have somewhere to leave my ironing board set up and my sewing machine. I just love the way it turned out. I did a lot of purging before I could do this. Lots of things went to Charity. Let someone else make use of something I no longer need or use.

THE GENERAL

Just finished quilting this quilt today. It is pieced with French General fabrics, so I have named the quilt "THE GENERAL" I quilted it with an all over free hand design of scattered feathers and swirls. I love how it turned out. Lots of texture in the quilting. Red is my favourite colour. I actually tea dyed all the fabrics to tone it down a bit and the effect was amazing. This is mine and I will treasure it. I have been pretty busy quilting customer quilts, but I snuck this one in just to get it done.
