Where I Now Sew

I LOVE sewing but must admit I have found it difficult since having Sarah to manage to find the time to do it.  To top it off I now no longest have a dedicated sewing room for my work and am often sewing on the kitchen table which means that while I am sewing we either live in a mess (you know how messy sewing can be - fabrics, threads cutting equipment and dust everywhere) and I have to pack up or move things so I can still cook tea without the accidental splash of spaghetti sauce bubbling onto the fabrics or quilt blocks as it cooks destroying all the work I had put in.

(This photo was taken after a good clean ;p )

With that said I am super excited to say I have managed to complete 2 1/2 quilts (my mum had already sewn 1/2 of a 'Best Friends' quilt up in 'Delighted' fabric by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake).  I worked like crazy to meet the time I had arranged with my wonderful quilter and was stoked to complete them all in time to be all be taken to her.

I did have to order some extra fabric for the border which arrived just in time to finish the quilt from Sisters & Quilters.  I have ordered from them before and they always give FANTASTIC service.

I am so excited to see them quilted in a few weeks!  Sarah my quilter always does such a wonderful job! 

And what did I do for the few days after delivering the quilts you might ask?  CLEANED :)  Seriously the jobs around the home just seem to multiply when you don't do them when you are meant to!

What happens when left for 1/2 hour while I sew - there is more mess cut out of the picture :s

Now to work on finishing writing a new pattern, making what I hope are the last edits for another and spending some time with my beautiful girls.  What do you have planned for your time?

 Do you have a dedicated sewing space or use the kitchen table?
