New Year, New space

As usual the New year has begun and with it so much fun. I have a new sewing space, which is very exciting.
I have begun to arrange my space which is challenging yet enjoyable. 
So far I have setup a few shelves and two sewing stations. 
I am discovering that my stash has grown in the past year substantially. Or maybe it has been growing for many year ðŸĪ” I just get to finally take inventory of everything and have it all in the same space.
Here is a peak of what I've done so far....

My friend Kathy, was over yesterday and she helped me sort through the boxes of fabric. I'm so grateful for wonderful friends.
I look forward to a fun year of creating wonderful things in this new space.

Happy sewing!!

Stitch n the ditch

I'm practicing quilting on my domestic machine. I have a EverSewn sparrow30s. I have been sewing a lot of quilt tops and making other small items with this machine, since I got it. I have just started doing a little quilting. I love the walking foot which makes quilting in the ditch fairly easy. So far I have quilted one baby quilt, three throw size quilts and I'm almost finished with my fourth throw size quilt. 
My lovely Aunt Barbara gave me a pair of quilting gloves. They help with this process so much. The gloves definitely relieve the strain on my hands and wrists that I was experiencing. 

Here's a picture of my nice gloves, machine and the fourth quilt.
I am definitely loving my machine. It is smooth and has so many cool options. I look forward to learning more of them this year.

Happy sewing!
