studio tour

I've been busy cleaning, straightening, rearranging and redecorating my sewing space. I thought this would be a good time to give you a little tour, before I mess it all up again! It's not a huge space, but it's all mine & I love it. The first thing I did was pull my two IKEA tables away from the wall to give me one big workspace in the middle of the room. This way I am not staring at the wall all day while I sew! I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner!

 Do you like my pretty bunting? I found it in a little town in England when we were there and I thought it would be so festive in my studio.

The next thing I did was recruit a hunky ladder climber (thanks honey!) to hang all of my wonderful mini quilts gallery style up near the ceiling. This is my new view when I sew! So much better than before. Only 2 of these quilts were made by me. Others were received in swaps and gifts from fellow quilters near and far.

 Oh and do you like those big ceramic buttons next to my clock? I thought they were a fun addition (and yes, that's my hunky ladder man in the hallway!)

 This side remained basically the same, my comfy sofa and my duck pond quilt. This last picture is a bit dark, thanks to the beautiful sunshine streaming through the blinds. I took down my valance which had faded terribly through the years from the sun.

And that's ellyn's place! What do you think? I can't wait to get back in there and mess it all up again. Happy long weekend to you!
