I hear many professional quilters talk about a design wall where one can showcase blocks and work with the colours. I decided to give it a go and bought some flannel fabric.
I put it up with cellotape – temporary measure – and arranged my blocks on it. It worked! It sure is something that should be tried out. Now I will work on making it permanent.
Luxury!!!!
We all dream of a space we can call our own and we sewers are the worst of all. We take over half of the house and still need more space. Well, I am thinking of moving into the garage as it seems to be the idea location for me and my ‘load’.
But – there always is a ‘but’ – the amount of work to get it sorted is frightening! I guess I have to roll up my sleeves and go for it. I really want my space where I can expand at will and not feel bad.
Finally, my dream is being realised. I have my sewing room. It’s been a year but it has been well worth the wait. The garage was finally sorted out and I have an 8ft x 15ft space to call my own.
The natural lighting is brilliant and it is also sound proof so I can blare my praise and worship songs without annoying anyone.
One of my main issues is how to fill it up. I already have tables and shelves but I need wall storage, a design wall and make it quite an effective space.
Ikea, here I come. Once I get it all sorted, will be back with more updates.
Put some stuff in and it’s filled up. Made my Ikea list and so should visit any day soon.

Still need to fit in 2 knitting machines, more bookcases for fabric and another table.
Yeepee!
