This is what I worked on last night while Project Runway was on. Piecing on my Featherweight means I can face the TV. I used the scraps from the bins and binder covers. You're all probably getting a little sick of seeing these fabrics all the time. I promise — once this is done, these prints will be used up. Well, mostly. I'm not using any pattern. I just measured out a triangle that would fit on the triangle-shaped scraps from the bins. I'm going to add some more blocks from the fabrics you can see at the left for variety — even I'm getting a bit tired of those same ol' fabrics — but I won't make the finished quilt much bigger than what you see here. I'm going to hang it on the wall in the sewing room and hope to get it done this weekend while my garment sewing mojo is on hiatus.
Speaking of sick of looking at, here's yet ANOTHER photo of my shelves and bins, but what I'm really showing is the cool little blue dress form up top. I was out still looking for ready-made bins yesterday afternoon. I didn't find any bins that I wanted but I did find this instead at HomeGoods. Isn't it cute? I wanted something tall and sewing-related for the top of the shelves to off-set the straight row of machines and this is perfect.
Have a great weekend — I'm starting mine NOW! :-)
I have to say I absolutly love your sewing room!!! And you are so creative - those fabric bins are to die for!! One day when I can I need to reorganize my sewing room, but for now it's a mess.
ReplyDeleteOh, the little quilt is lovely too!
Adorable! And, really, I rarely use that word :)
ReplyDeleteBut I love your adorable blue dressform. Your craftiness is impressive. I would have never figured out how to make those storage bins and they are so much better than anything you could buy.
Your sewing room is coming out nicely! I love your little blue dress form. That quilt will make a nice wall hanging, too. I've only quilted once, and I doubt I ever will again. I'm not that patient.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in the quilt match the colors in your sewing room!
ReplyDeleteYour new blue dress form is very pretty. I noticed it before you even mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun, sewing on the Featherweight? Love it!
ReplyDeleteI really love the quilt made from the same fabric as the bins. I don't have any "adornment" in my sewing room...it just seems like it's the "catchall" for just any kind of furniture that will fit in there. You have inspired me to get moving on fixing that mess up!
ReplyDeleteI love the little blue dress form. Are there ever tours of sewing rooms? If so, yours is about ready!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome sewing room and the quilt colors are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. I see you like green from your quilt pieces and sewing room and it gorgeous on both!
