Where I Sew My Quilts

This is my “Girl Cave Retreat”. We live in a two bedroom townhouse, and Jerry so graciously allowed me to use this second bedroom for quilting (and with roll-up futons, it is a guest room too.) One wall is dedicated for storing mostly his things, books, and photos—behind the white curtains on the right. It is a mess right now, and anything but calm and restful! An elderly couple in the nearby valley just moved into a senior living facility and their daughter and son were holding an “estate sale” of everything in the house, liquidating years of belongings....their mom was a locally known quilter and crafter. She had a HUGE room full of fabric, quilting supplies, sewing machines, etc., etc., up for sale at “everything must go” prices. I came home with yards and quarter cuts of quality fabric (like Moda and Japanese fabrics).  She had tons of plastic storage drawers, so I also bought two sets (seen on the far left in photo.)

I decided to incorporate my existing stash of fabrics with my new haul. Well, NOW I’m in the midst of taking everything out and resorting. What a domino effect!!!. But I’m so grateful to be unexpectedly provided with fabric and storage which is such a surprise gift from God, and within the budget of our fixed income. So hopefully I will get to show you my “after” photo, and record the progress of some of my current quilt projects.
