I think that I'd settle for one of the 'tidy' ones! I need a tidyup
elf to visit anytime to do the job. jennellh

Fascinating. Thank you, Jennifer. I searched all of them to see if any had
a better system of stash accessibility and didn't find one. I suspect that
the pictures were made during a rare moment of neat . . . but I was so glad
to see the Happy in every room. Wouldn't it be great to go create with
those stitchers? Polly

Ok Irene, which one were you looking at?? I just went through all of
them and either my eyes are gone or something. I want one with
winning ribbons as well!! Though, as Jennell said, tidy would do,
too. Right now, I can actually see my futon, but there are piles of
different fabrics everywhere. My aunt sent bunches of fleece to me
once she found out that I'm using it for sleeping bags, but then I
have a box of white felt, white, large-hole netting, white fine tulle,
1" thick cushion pads....what the heck am I going ot do with all this
white stuff????? Oh, and 2 whole bolts of sweatshirt fleece...argh

Cool! I enjoyed Vicki Ames's window treatment.

What amazed me was that many machines were on "small" tables, and very few
were set into the table so that the bed of the machine was flush with the
surface.
I am envious of the views many had - I sew in the basement during the
summer, but have a great sewing area full of windows for the winter.

If you are doing miniatures, kid or doll clothes or just clothing
construction you don't need as much space maybe?
I am lucky to have a front window here in the sewing room.
I put in a wall fountain and change out the annuals often for color.
When I was a teenager I was upstairs and it was like being in a tree
house with all the trees and birds. I don't guess I'll ever have as
much space or as nice a view from the sewing machine again.
Thanks for the fun link Jenn.

My thoughts too. I love to sew on a machine that it's surface is flush
w/ a table
or cabinet--otherwise it can be a struggle for me

Well, shoot....now I can't find it....the room looked like the winning
ribbons were positioned up against a window. But maybe it is really
my eyes are the ones gone and they are not really ribbons....?

Wow that's a lot of fleece...what are you going to do with it?

I think that you were looking at the window valence made of ribbons?
- I thought the same thing at first and then again when I saw the row
of scissors in another room. jennellh

I like the one with the dress patterns used as wallpaper.
I don't like sewing up against a wall, though. My sewing machine
table faces outward, so I can see the TV. But I do envy people with
windows. My studio is in the basement.

First of all I want to say hello and introduce myself. I have been
lurking for several months and just decide to jump right in. The room
with the window treatment that looks like ribbons is actually a white
wooden rod with strips of fabric half hitched over it. A very cute
idea and wonderful usage of scrap fabric.

When the tidy elf comes to your house jennellh would you please send
her to Texas to my house when she is finished at yours?

My church is collecting material for a women's prison. The inmates use
donated material for making clothing for their kids. I think sweatshirt
fleece would make great pajamas. Maybe you could find someone in your
area who could put it to good use. Seems a shame to let it go to waste,
if you have no use for it. Maybe it would be good for the back of kids'
charity quitls, or even two layers of the fleece quilted together would
be warm and cuddly for some little one.

Thanks for the warm welcome Robeta. I am 30 miles inland from
Galveston at the intersection of State Highway 6 and State Hwy 35 in
the small town of Alvin, hometown of retired Baseball great Nolan
Ryan. We are recovering from the effects of Hurricane Ike that made
landfall 4 weeks ago tonight night. This time last month we were
sitting here wondering if we were going to have a roof left on our
house come Saturday morning. But we were blessed with very little
property damage. Our town had lots of damage to buildings and trees,
but as I know of there was no loss of life. Galveston on the other
hand wasn't spared the furry of Ike. Historical bldgs are gone and as
are many homes and there were many lives lost and people still
missing. We were without electricity for 2 weeks in our subdivision.
But if there was something good that came out of the storm. Neighbors
came together and we became a neighborhood like I remember as a
child. Kids played outside and adults sat out on their drives and
yards and socialized. I have lived in my home for 5 years and just met
some of my neighbors for the first time.
Our local quilter's guild Gulf Coast Quilters Guild and other area
guilds have been volenteering our services to wash and dry bolts of
fabric for the owner of a LQS in Galveston, Quilts By the Bay. Their
shop was/is only a few blocks from the sea wall and they had over 2
feet of water in the store. They just didn't have time to get
everything up or out of the store. I have never seen so many give so
much. Quilters are wonderful!!!!!!

I am going to say good night and quilty hugs to all.

Wow, hard to imagine how long it would take to do all that laundry!
But what a great idea -no quilter could just let all that fabric go to
waste.
