I`m (mostly) settled into my new sewing room, and it`s oh so lovely. I`ve been sneaking in there to sew whenever I can, and sometimes when I really can`t! It`s so much more to fun to sew than to clean or organize… and I have so many ideas of quilts I want to make! Also my little Etsy shop is depleted of boy quilts so I decided I must remedy that.
The last photo is one of those, and I have a few to show you soon. The middle photo is a fun project I did for myself. I`ve always wanted a vintage dresden plate quilt, but since I`ve never found one at the thrift store, and the nice ones online are highly sought after, I made my own. It`s made from about half vintage fabrics and half new. Pretty happy with how it`s turned out, but now I have to decide if I`m going to hand quilt it. I have my oldest son`s queen sized quilt in the queue to be quilted first, so we`ll see.

Very nice. Fun to see others' creative space. I love the white cabinet with the glass doors. And yes, the dresden is beautiful.

Oh, hurray! You totally deserve a sewing room. More sewing for you, I say! I love the vintage dresden. That caught my eye right away. Looks like a fun one to make.

It made me so happy to see a little snippet of where you make beautiful quilts! We live in a teeny home, so I must take out and put away(everything)each time. Thank you for sharing yours! And for almost the same reasons, some day I will make a Dresden of my own! Have a wonderful day!-Jean

This was a very inspiring post for me. I love the star and the way you enlarged it, I think the colours on the white background with the pieced back are just amazing. I also love the sewing room, it looks so bright and inviting. Can't wait to see the rest of your WIPs!
