2020 - Happy Quilted New Year

2020 is here. A new decade, a renewed season of quilting for me in my new sewing/craft room. This past November I moved from Newport Tennesee to my new Home in Nellysford Virginia surrounded with a spectacular view of the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains from my front door.

I’m just I’ve been unpacking my sewing machines! Scrapbooking stuff! Polymer clay and jewelry making supplies along with my easel and Art supplies. In my new Sewing Studio.  I started on a couple of projects, along with organizing my space, to help kick start my creative flow. I’ve set up my Sewing machine area and ironing station, my cabinets to contain my fabric and jewelry making supplies and a desk work area. It’s a Beginning, a slow process to be sure.

Under my needle today has been a scrappy pot holder and a trio of coasters for my hot teapot mug.

This is the pot holder I made today from my scrappy “strings” sewn on a foundation of iron on backing that i sewed selvages and strings to using a zig zag stitch.  I did not really like the process but the finished hot pad did look good.

 

My seeing station is a bit messy but usable and promises to be more cozy as I finish my organization.  note the view of the backyard from my windows.
