At the moment my sewing room is a guest room. I'll share a pic in a couple of weeks after I've put it all back. Promise. Just imagine, I'll have a very neat sewing room to take a picture of since I've cleared it out and cleaned it up. :lol:

Thanks to all you brave souls who have already shared your work rooms. I'm very impressed. Lots of creative work going on!

I don't have any pictures of my room yet, I'm hoping for a digital camera for my b-day. But here's my story. When we bought this house 7 years ago, there was a room framed out in the basement. Many discussions were held concerning this room, and what it would become. I never said a word. I was used to working on my dining room table, and having to pick up when company came. Then a couple years ago, our youngest son began to talk of turning it into an audio-visual room. I decided it was time to speak up. I told my DH it would be perfect for a sewing room for me. At first, nobody took me seriously, but eventually Dan realized I was serious. So, to make a long story short, he wired the room, (he's an electrician, I have more plugs than you can imagine!), dry-walled, painted it a sunny yellow, put in a laminate floor, and 2 cabinets. For Christmas last year, our kids and their families got me a 4 foot table that holds my sewing machine. My room is my sanctuary from dealing with a job I truly despise, my 79 year old mother, who thinks quilting is a waste of time, and the world in general. I tell my husband all the time how much I love my room-and him for finishing it for me. I will post pics soon.

My mother too thinks quilting is a waste of time util a sibling or niece or nephew is ready to produce offspring and then tells me I need to make them a baby quilt. Everyones pictures inspired me to do a little straightening this weekend My cutting table has showed up again. All this time, I thought it had walked off. Turns out, it was buried under piles of fabric. Now the closet is bursting at the seams. I guess that means I simply need to sew more!

I decided to pull my fabric out of the drawers to see what I have, cuz it is hidden, well i found nothing but bright fabrics, seems this is all i have been ordering lately, hardly any solids so i caught the last day sale at JoAnns and stocked up on solids, actully piled my fabric up on the shelf so i could see it and know what i have to work with, very little it seems, as I have just started quilting. Finally started on a project I just might finish as i plan to send this one out to be long armed quilted. I have fabric with large print and had a difficult time deciding how to place it all...nothing inspirational hit me so it's big blocks with sashings, oh well the colors are pretty, very fond of blues and yellows!!! maybe i should take another picture of my sewing room cause now it is really messy!!! ha

Catherine, I know how hard it is to find a block that suits large print and is also at beginner level. I found that the Irish chain is a nice way to show off a large print and the chain pieces can set off one color in the print if they are solid or semi-solid.

I really like the Leisure Arts quilt books. They have pretty easy patterns that are really versatile. You might take a look at "Wild About Flowers" or one of their other ones for inspiration.

Post pics when you have them!
