I finished the set up in my new sewing room (or my "girl cave" as Hubby calls it!!). Hubby put hooks into the wall for my rulers. They are SO handy, right behind my cutting table. Just turn around and grab!
I finished up and mailed my Modern Siggy Swap 2 blocks. They were fun to make!
At the lock-in Saturday night I started making asterisk blocks. I'm not really doing the quilt along per se, but I thought the blocks were cute and I wanted to make enough for a wall hanging. Well, let me tell you- these blocks are more fun than should be allowed by law! They are addicting. So, if you don't want to spend every spare second making asterisk blocks, I suggest you don't start at all :)
And finally I designed a quilt for the lovely new "Spa" fabrics by Rosemarie Levin. I pressed and cut the fabrics yesterday. My new shelves double as fabric racks- how cool is that!
The room looks great! I really like the asterisk blocks. And I love the way you can use the front of your shelves to organize your quilt pieces! (It's the little things that get me going!)
ReplyDeleteRulers on the wall - great idea to maximize the space!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful talent for organisation! It looks lovely!! Great place for the rulers!
ReplyDeleteI love your space! I have been hanging my rulers too, I ran out of hooks, so back to the store:) It is so handy that way.
ReplyDeleteLove ur wall of rulers....love the asterick blocks....your new room looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour hanging rulers immediately brought to mind Julia Child and her pegboard for utensils :) So clever of you! And all the blocks look great too!
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your room, your quilting room. You are one lucky chick! I'll help you break it in if you want. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI think you also may have pushed me over the edge to do some of those asterisk blocks ;)
oh now that i have seen your asterisk blocks i want to make them more...they look amazing. i love the bright color on white....and can i just say how beautiful that organized wall of rulers is....lovely
ReplyDeleteYour "girl cave" is wonderful! Actually, I'm upgrading it from sewing room to sewing studio. I love that your hubby put up hooks so you could have your rulers organized and ready for action -- just like Julia Child's husband did for her with her pots and pans. (I was thinking about that this evening when I couldn't even find a can opener in my kitchen!) Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy :)
ReplyDeletei am sooooo in love with your asterisk blocks!! i MUST make some!! :)
ReplyDeletexo, Heather
You have to share with us how to make those asterisk blocks. See you next month.
ReplyDeletewow! now that is a ruler wall.....let me see, I think I have two.....yeah two.....love the asteriks too....
ReplyDeleteI love your Asterisk blocks with the white background. Those are so cool! I waffled back and forth about doing the quilt-along, and decided I couldn't take on one more project, but seeing your blocks has almost changed my mind!
