In My Sewing Room

Posted on May 30, 2018 by Quiltmouse

Cleaning is a never ending process! It seems every time I need something I end up disassembling my space looking for it. I guess I need to get organized, but that will take away from my sewing projects. This weekend the room got disassembled looking for something I need to work on this week.

While at Quilt Retreat last month, I got a quilt top, matching travel pillowcase and some baby wash cloths done for a new grand-nephew. The quilt is at the LAQ (Long-arm Quilter), so I want to work on the binding & label to be ready when it gets finished.

2018 Quilt Retreat – Final Day

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Quiltmouse

Spring 2018 Quilt Retreat has ended. Everyone has returned home, and getting back to normal routines – whatever ‘normal’ is! I returned to some major work which took several days, and still isn’t totally completed. I’ve been able to spend a little time in my sewing room to get everything back into place. Attending a quilt retreat requires moving lots of sewing supplies and returning home with more than you took.
