My Sewing Room

Finally! A new video showing how my sewing room looks today. I’m not good at this type of thing at all but, at least it’s done.

Now if I mention “my strings are out of control!” or “I need to empty the drawers that held my fat quarters” so I can use them for something else… you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Here’s the link to the video below if you prefer to watch it on YouTube.

My room isn’t magazine worthy. Not even close. It’s small but it works and I’m grateful for a space to call my own.

As you probably heard several times in the video, I do need to stay on top of my smaller pieces of fabric- strings, scraps, and fat quarters. If they grow out of their designated space I have only two choices, use them or give them away. You can expect to see more string and scrap quilts in the near future because I’m clearly to that point.

The room is 10′ x 14.5″ and my longarm is an Innova M20 on a 10′ frame. It’s not computerized.

Here are a the wall hangings you saw in the video with links to the patterns used if they’re still available. If you have questions about anything please don’t hesitate to ask.

Pattern is Baby Love by Fabriculous using Confetti ombre by V & Co. I inserted the gold lame’ paper pieced paw print, free pattern by Paper Panache. This large paw print by Windham Fabrics made the perfect back. They even look like little hearts.  ♥

Over the door storage rack I use for thread was from Amazon.

I call this one “we are all New York”
Made during covid when crowds cheered the doctors and nurses who were overworked and exhausted by the number of patients, but showed up every day to care for them. The pattern I used was Shenandoah by Creative Sewlutions. The panel is Blue Skylines by Hoffman. I purchased it from Quilted Twins and it’s now out of stock but I located it online at Beaverhead Treasures.

I hang all my wall hanging using a threaded rod with endcaps from Home Depot and these heavy duty hook made by 3M from Amazon. They don’t require drilling holes in the wall but the adhesive it much stronger than Command hooks and I expect they might leave some damage to the wall if you had to remove them.

Illusion pattern by Caryl Breyer Fallert but her internet store has since gone out of business and I don’t see where it’s available.

Made a 3 or 4 years ago for the Palm Beach County Quilters’ Guild small quilt challenge. The quilt had to represent a song title. Singing in the Rain paper-pieced pattern is from Etsy.

Pattern is Tighten the Tension by Chris Gilman but if it’s still available, I haven’t been able to find it. (If you locate it, please leave the link in the comments.)

Woven Ribbons pattern by Jinny Beyer (not available online).

Made with the X-Block ruler by Cactus Queen Quilt Co.

I wish you a happy Sunday and hope you find some time to spend in your happy place too.
