The work area

An article by Rachel    Comments Off

I’m quite proud of my sewing/quilting area. Not because it is a thing of beauty. I like it because I’ve made the best use of what I had. I live in smallish condo. There is a second bedroom. However, it is setup as an office. For various reasons the office and sewing area can’t co-exist.

The dining area in the kitchen has been transformed into the sewing area. I purchased a table for about $80 at Fred Meyers. Then with my dad’s assistance, I cut a hole in the top.

The size of the hole was determined by the sewing cabinet insert that I bought from Quilt Dream. It fits perfectly around my machine.

Then we built a shelf for the machine to sit in. I love the set up. I have room to sew, cut fabric, and lay out blocks. When it is time to machine quilt, I set everything aside. The table supports the weight of the quilt. I still need to work out a side table for big quilts.
