Rachel,
I took over the foyer of my house! When people come in the front door, they are literally in my sewing room. It does help me to keep it a little cleaner. haha
Is there a corner anywhere, even in a family area or the basement, that you could set up a table? That's what I did once I decided that I was tired of setting up and breaking down on a daily basis.
Maybe if you and hubby do an actual diagram of your floor plan. That's what we did and how we came up with the front room(foyer).

Eileen, Just slice some off! She must have been abducted by aliens and they must still have her brain. :shock: Good luck and GOD bless you for having your's. Well over the weekend my sweet hubby followed through and bought me my new fabric and even put more that I wanted aside in the quilt shop that I go to for next week. Thank God the owner understands about my check situation and is so sweet. I started the Orion Star quilt. He still thinks that I am only doing maybe 3-4 well now 4-5 quilt projects. . I am not telling him otherwise. What I do know is I have quite a bit done on my cathedral window quilt and need to get more black fabric. I just wish that I had someplace where I could leave things out longer and set up. What takes the time is tearing down and setting up. My sewing room has been taken over by the boys instruments and amps. I can't even move in there now. Rachel

I am going to sew pieces on a customer's backing. She made it long enough but not wide enough. So I went out and bought the fabric, washed it and am now going to put it together. The alternative was that she wanted to take the quilt top and just "slice some off"!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been working on the piecing and quilting that will be the fabric for a jacket for my mother. The piecing was boring, just sewing 4 inch blocks together. Now I am quilting a cross hatch grid on the sandwich. That is also boring. It is really going to be gorgeous when it's done but I sure wouldn't do it again. Anyway I was sewing straight lines like crazy yesterday and just needed to do something else. When I was down in Houston, my friend and I did the quilt shop hop (BOM). It dawned on me that doing a block from that would be a nice break. So block one of that BOM is done. I feel really good about what I accomplished. Gloria

I finally got my friend's signature quilt done yesterday. Hope to get it to her today. Bought some new fabric at JoAnn's the other day with my DD and we are both making something different with the same fabrics. We saw the fabric in Visual Quilter's blog of 6/26. We will post pictures when we get some stuff done.

I finished piecing my Civil War quilt with drunkard's path blocks. It is a queen size and then went looking for borders in red and blue fabric. Also bought flannel fabric for my DS's quilt. Spent way too much $. Before I went I had to get gas to the tune of $55 to fill up the tank. Judy in AZ who will not shop the rest of July

Good grief Cheryl,Bridget could only be my MUCH younger and MUCH prettier sister(oh wait,I already have one of those),ha ha!But it's wonderful to think I've got a TQS sister!I see that you like to garden also Bridget.And since this is the Tilda thread I'll just say that I have part of a quilt started from an interesting but easy pattern in the latest Quilter's Newsletter Mag.But, as you know this is gardening season,so.......Julie

Besides doing a baby quilt for a customer, I did some work on my Global Warming quilt. Now I've reached a point where I have to make some kind of decision. Once I work it out, I'll post what I'm doing.

I have been working on my Christmas quilts. I made two blocks this weekend. One by hand at workshop I went to and another by machine. I still have two applique blocks I have only partially finished. I started posting web shots. I am designing this sampler block as I go. I plan to have a random setting... but I am not sure yet.

Hey Patti,
I don't think grandma will be completely quilted by the end of class either. I really have to get the baby quilt done. The shower is Aug. 10th.... :shock: Your little guy is looking great. especially those eyes. Oh my what a ladie's man he is going to be. You could probably keep in contact with Marilyn after the close of class using her e-mail. Cheryl

Oh Cheryl, grandma is spectacular. Very nice. I am not going to finish mine by the end of class, I'm waiting on new fabric and I really do need to be able to work this not laying down. Working too close is hindering it greatly and I can't get away from the computer (which is on the floor so I can lay down and use it) because of needing to look at the picture and Marilyn's redo (teacher) that doesn't print off well on my printer.

You're right -- well at least we're TQS sisters! If I lived closer, I'd love to come play in my sister Julie's garden in her profile -- it's lovely!

Yesterday was very productive. I cleaned and vaccumed my sewing room. Then I managed to sew the backing on my christmas tree wall hanging- luckily I had left small opening so it could be turned, my dd wants to make a pillow out of it, so when it gets a little closer she'll be stuffing it and I'll show her the running stitch.

I just realized something. Bridget and Julie look like you could be sisters.
