Love the photos of your sewing room, Kim. My space is not nearly so well organised, or ever so neat. It is a little spot in the sun room off our bedroom. The nice part is an early Australian cedar filing cupboard that I bought to store fabric in. There are 20 drawers, the size of 8 x 5 inch filing cards, which can be pulled out and taken to another place to investigate the contents as required. The IDEA is that they are colour themed. However, this has got a bit messy after a few quilts and a few quick tidy ups. The proximity o our bed of my sewing area is a problem, as I often lay things out on the bed to get a look at them. And sometimes, actually very very rarely, a pin ends up making its way off the fabric and onto the bed. Never my side .... always my husbands's. Lucky he is long suffering.
I am making progress on my pickle dish (photos another time) but am showing you here a table runner I am thinking of giving my sister-in-law as a present. It is a piece of old French silk and cotton (I think) that came from Brigitte Giblin's stash, and I've bordered it in some linen. A quick whip up over the weekend. What do you think? It is an acceptable present?
Yep good present, I'd be happy with it
ReplyDeleteI would definitely love this present -looks fantastic!!! And please rest assured that my sewing area is very very very rarely this tidy and organised - normally it is a complete shambles. To give you an idea I spent about 4 hours tidying it up - and that is with out any exaggeration! And in regards to pins in bed.... I actually have a quilt on my bed which I haven't finished quilting and the other day I actually found a needle and perle 8 threaded and mid quilting!!!! Kimbo
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous present. She'll love it.
