Amanda's Quilt

I've spent most of this week moving my sewing stuff from the master bedroom, attic, playroom and guest room into my new sewing room.  I knew I had a lot of scraps, but I didn't realize I had three tubs of unsorted scraps.  This is in addition to all the bins of scraps that are sorted by color.  One of next year's goals has to be to use up one of the giant bins of scraps, either by sewing them into a quilt or getting them into the color sorted bins.

Our master bedroom is unusually large, so in theory, having my sewing space in the bedroom should work.

 But I'm not a neat quilter. Over the years, I've acquired a lot more fabric, tools, and books than I used to have, so the space isn't really big enough.  I also don't think all the fabric lint is good for my husband's allergies. 

Since two of our children have moved out, I decided to take over one of their bedrooms.  Of course, I took the bigger of the two!  We had the carpet taken out and put in laminate.

 

I'm so happy to have a closet just for quilting stuff.

 

 

 

Right now I'm about 3/4 of the way moved into the new sewing room.  I should finish the job, but I wanted to stop and sew!  This morning I finished Amanda's graduation quilt top:

 

 

 

 

This quilt was a lot of work, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out.  All the book titles were embroidered by hand.
