Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: The Felted Bag Book

I love making felted bags - I'd like to get more inspiration! Thanks for the contest.

Re: Sew Happy

Another side of me wants to get more into sewing garments. This is my ultimate sewing room for that. The best ironing board, iron and cutting table make the mundane part of sewing easy and effortless. Plenty of storage for patterns and notions. A computer for design inspiration and help. I've always wanted a dress form and a serger, plus the best sewing machine would help too. A bright paint and cheerful curtains finish the room well.

Re: Quilter's Heaven

My ultimate sewing room would be one where I could quilt to my heart's content. A cutting table at the proper height is a must, and I love this particular table because the sides fold down when not in use. I need a large surface where I could lay out my quilts to use a longarm quilting machine. Lots of drawers for storage space are a real necessity for all my rulers, cutters, thread and other notions. I've always wanted a large rectangular ironing board for pressing and steam blocking. A new sewing machine would come in handy because I like to make purses and small art pieces using different stitches. I'm always looking for patterns and ideas online, so I would have a computer too.

I picked out the paint color intentionally, because not only is it cheerful, but I think it won't compete with my design wall. I love the light hardwood floors and funky curtains.
