The first pic is the other end of the shelves that hold most of my fabrics and quilts I'm working on. The rack holds my beads, motifs, some of my lace etc.

hmmm

Well it would seem blogger won't let me add any more pic's right now so I'll have to try and do it later today. I shall return:)

My dear Friend Thelma Tagged Me to Show My Sewing Room



Thelma Bradshaw tagged me to show pictures of my sewing room. So here goes. I have a whole lot crammed into a small space and my actual sewing is done on my dinning room table.
That is my cutting and ironing (for large pieces) table. Well it's not letting me put in the pics and then telling what they are before going on to the next. So guess I'll just load them all. lol

Project Linus



Project Linus is a volunteer organization I belong to. I've had a few requests for an explanation of what Project Linus is, so I asked Claire Gliddon the co-ordinator for our area if she could write out a synopsis of what we do. (I tend to be sooooooo long winded:) ) Here's the note I got back from Claire.
Project Linus is a nationwide, non-profit organization, looking for people who enjoy sewing, quilting, crocheting or knitting to make blankets for children in need. That means children in hospitals, foster care, homeless or just going through a difficult time. There are no quotas, no meetings, no deadlines - we just want you to have fun doing what you enjoy most and helping your community of little people at the same time! The only requirement is that the blankets be made of washable materials. Please contact your local chapter by logging on to www.projectlinus.org and clicking on your state on the US Map shown. That will bring up all the chapters in your state and the contact information. Also note that this is a great project for teens to do their community service (for school, 4H, Girl Scouts, churches) by making no-sew fleece blankets This is fun for ALL ages and really means a lot!
Thank you Claire, I really appreciate your help. Anyone interested, it really is a GREAT group. Some of the ladies meet and quilt together and have a wonderful time doing something that is so beneficial to the community. Sometimes, making only one quilt per year is all we can do, and believe me THAT is appreciated. As Claire said there are no quotas and absolutely no pressure:)

SOH Heart for Wilma


Woohoo I'm back in the game! lol Wilma's heart will go out to her this week end and I think I'm caught up. whooppeee! Although I do have to remake my Nemo Block for the Fairytale RR. Sadly it's gone to that nowhere land the postal services know of, but won't tell us. lol It could show up down the road you never know, but it's easier to make another one and all those gals that have worked on it all ready are happy to do it again. What can I say?? There's no way I can get upset when there's wonderful people like that in my life with this RR.:)
