Loving my craft room and the luxury it affords me to go somewhere where I can concentrate on nothing but the task at hand, no phone, no TV, no bodies to bother me.
Did I say - I just love my craft room!
I've started another quilt ~ just to break the monotony of working on just one.
The pattern I am using for this quilt is an Amy Butler pattern. It is pieced completely using a variety of lovely toiles given to me by a friend at Christmas time. It is such a simple pattern and I pieced almost the entire top in an afternoon.
When the top, backing and batting are all pinned together I'm going to quilt using the stitch-in-the-ditch quilting technique on the sewing machine.
Easy peasy!
When it is completed it will be approximately 36" x 36" ... not too big and not too small .... just the right size to throw over my legs if I feel a little chilly.
(Chris, hope you like this!!!)

Julie, Don't forget to post a picture when it's done.
Now I'm a little jealous a pfaff sewing machine ~ only in my dreams. Barb xo
Vickie, It just makes me feel good inside to know that my quilt is being used and loved by you. Thanks for letting me know that. Love Barb xo
Ooh! Beautiful! I love those fabrics, I've never seen any like that before and it's certainly not because I don't frequent quilt shops!
That's so cool. I love the way everything fits together!
I love my compter/art room too. It's such a tiny space but that just makes everything within arms reach and I don't have to get out of my chair. Right not it's currently being occupied by boys playing their video games. -bah-
