Thankful For My Sewing Room

In our house, company coming means the sewing room gets cleaned.  I don't want to have any traces of quilt gifts hanging around in case someone wanders in and sees what I'm working on.  We are having 25 people here for Thanksgiving.  This is a smallish crowd for us as it will be just my sisters and their families this year from my side.  My three brothers have other family obligations this year.  We'll see them all for Christmas and at Andrew's burial.  

Anyway, this is what my sewing room looks like when it is clean, which isn't very often.


In addition to the usual quilter's junk and scraps, I keep my unquilted tops, large pieces of backing, and shirts to repurpose hanging up in this closet.  It saves me from having to buy even more storage bins.  


I love the light I get during the day from this big window.  At night I could use more light.  Maybe Santa will bring me a new lamp for this room.



I keep my stash (mostly scraps) in the white tubs, sorted by color.


This year I am thankful for my  new sewing room!

Nice room with a beautiful window. I've been sewing downstairs in the dining room this past week, and not in my sewing room. It's not ideal, but it means I can sew while my husband is in bed and I am wide awake in the middle of the night.

I hide 'secret' project from prying eyes. Of course, that is usually just hubby and one son (who lives here). Happy Thanksgiving.

I like the idea of hanging larger things in the cupboard. My new space (our spare room) has a built in robe, so I might start doing that, myself. Happy Thanksgiving.

Your sewing room looks so bright and fresh. It must be lovely whiling away days in there, with the light streaming through that big window. I love your white cupboard. Hope you enjoyed a happy Thanksgiving with your family.
