New quilting space aquired!

Woohoo!  My new quilting/creative space is officially mine.  There are projects to be done before I can set everything up and begin sewing in my new space. 

This weekend I will be painting the walls a lovely blue/aqua color.  This space is going to be very girly.  I will post pictures over the weekend.  Next week we rip up the carpet and begin working on the hardwoods that are hiding underneath. 

I’m so excited to share this with my readers.  Please offer any suggestions of things I should put in my sewing/quilting room.  I’ve never had a space that I could really do whatever I want to do with.  YEAH!!

New Fabrics – RJR Fabrics

I love looking at fabric manufacturer’s Web sites to find out what is coming out.  Today I found a new line from RJR Fabrics that I like. 

Shasta is an odd combination of stripes, florals, circle, and polka dots that all seemingly blend together.  Not sure what kind of project I would make with this line, but would be great for any stash. 

What would you use these for?  Look for it in stores around May.

Back to Sewing

Wow, these couple of weeks have been quite chaotic.  The original house we were going to buy had too many problems with the inspection.  Then it was off to find a new house.  So glad we did, everything has gone very smoothly and we should be closing next week.  Yep, I’m excited.  I’ve got the paint picked out for my super girly sewing room.

Last week I was busting out pot holders like a crazy woman.  They were the favor to the bridal shower on Saturday and quite a hit.  I emptied out my stash of them and now it’s on to my other collections. 

Still do not have my Etsy page up and going.  Using up my stash really put a hamper on that. 

I am way behind on projects and really need to get some motivation going.  As if a wedding, buying a house, moving across the country, and sewing like a mad woman isn’t enough.  I still have wedding and baby quilts to make.  Those little humans will be here quickly!! 

Off to conquer the world.  So glad I’m back.  Here’s a picture of me surving my shower weekend.  Can’t wait to see what I create this week. 

Go Colts

Normally on a Sunday during football season I sew.  My fiance and I are big football fans.  He is a much bigger fan than I am.  He watches any game that he can.  So I have about eight hours of free time to create. 

Today is Superbowl Sunday and my team is playing.  There is no sewing for me.  I have to make my death queso, called death because it’s HOT!  A full jalapeno with seeds goes into it. 

Go COLTS!!!
