New products at the Gallery

My spot at West James Gallery, 128 W James, Columbus WI. I've just delivered some new zippered bags made with vintage fabrics. Great for Valentines gifts- fill one with chocolate!

Working on another t-shirt quilt....just the first layout.

This is the work area- what shall I put in that blank space above the thread?????

This is what you see as you come down the stairs- I sure need to improve this!

Storage for lots of stuff! Fabric, thread, books and more!

Closer look at that wall- I love my vintage shelves! The little silhouette is me when I was young- my Aunt did it.

Wire racks with lots of fabric- and more stuff to find a place for!

All in all- I have lots more work to do! We take our daughter back to college today, our son is home one more week and then he starts a real job in the Detroit area!!! Then I will have more time to devote to getting this mess in order!!!!

The couch was my parents- bought in 1952....just had it recovered and LOVE it!

Basement sewing area

OK- I've moved my sewing area to the basement...the blue room will be a guest room for now- it just works out better this way. As you can see- this is still quite a mess! I am figuring out where everything will go and share this space with a "rec room" area. Our daughter was home from college for a month and spent much time down here playing Zelda with the Wii....
I am still so frustrated with my organization but there is a reason! We have run out of room!!!!

Custom Arm Sling

Custom arm sling for my baby sis...she's a real cowgirl!

the "Jenny" purse

This small purse is a custom order for a client named Jenny. She specified the size, handles, inside pockets and picked out the fabric. I think it turned out well- it's a cute size that can hold the essentials. Maybe I'll make some more in other colors...

Sewing Studio WIP

So- I am still trying to figure out how to arrange the new studio. What looks good on paper doesn't necessarily work out when you move the pieces in the real world- UGH!!! Oh well- it is a WIP-work in progress. Feel free to give me advice....and if you want to come over and take some of the things I can't fit anymore- let me know!

The backing is a sea-life flannel, nice and soft.

Custom ordered baby quilt. I am quite happy with this! The center fabrics were all from my stash. The border fabric is from Joannes and it ties it all together nicely- I think it's happy!
