The part of Virginia I live in has no fine needlework shop. When I need linen or specialty threads, I have to buy them online or wait until I visit my mom. Embroidery has been making a comeback, though, and one of the quilt shops nearby carries Weeks Dye Works now. When I went there to get threads for my latest cross stitch project, I bought a fat quarter on sale, hence the increase in my quilting stash this week.

I have joined a stitch along for Scream House, a Just Nan Exclusive carried by The Silver Needle. I've had this kit for almost 5 years now, and I found an online stitch-along for it this week. It is slow enough that I hope I can keep up. Here's a link to the page for Scream House. You will need to scroll down to see it. http://cloudwww.thesilverneedle.com/exclusives.php?zenid=nljc4g6rsgb0m9nv4qqq56egd1
Yesterday I finished painting my new sewing room. I won't move my stuff in there, though, until the floor is done, which may be a couple of months. We need to get DS3's college tuition paid and the roof replaced before we spend money on a new floor.
I pulled out Gypsy Wife again hoping to get that done this week. I found the unfinished sections, but the rest of the quilt, the 2/3 of it that is completed, is missing. I probably hung it up in the closet in the yellow bedroom, but I can't get to it now to see. All the stuff that was in my new sewing room is now in the yellow bedroom. It may be 2 months before I can get back to Gypsy Wife!

That is what my guest bedroom looks like, since I only packed up part of my son's stuff. When I got tired of packing, I just dumped the rest in the guest bedroom so that I could sew. I'll have to get back to it one of these days. Hope you can get the floor in sooner, rather than later.
It's difficult to find things when you move your projects from place to place. You sewing room walls are beautiful - love that color Laura! It looks like a wonderful space.
