And I thought my own sewing room was small..I shall think of you when I have to move the ironing board to get to the jelly chest because I'm too lazy to put it away. :-) I admire you doing such a large quilt in such a small space. Beautiful stitching, Margaret, as always. I was mesmerized with your story leading up to the bird. I would have freaked out.

I promised myself I would go back periodically and put in a few more threads of double running. Well, I just finished the peacock and duck area and I have about as much of the double running as you do. I think she will be quite dramatic when finished but maybe just as beautiful without that row at the top. I will enjoy watchimg your progress on her.Bonnie in Iowanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-7480589672324002012010-04-08T08:11:45.406-07:002010-04-08T08:11:45.406-07:00I love starteritis and you have done good!!

I hope to stitch Freelove soon so it's nice to see your start. <br />That red fabric is to die for. I can't wait to see what it becomes. I wish you had a room of your own, too. I used to sew like that (not exactly) though, and it was such a mess. I do have a room, but it's full of paint and other crafty goodies.The Scarlett Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851866596985841115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-14559698122649821022010-04-08T05:02:33.068-07:002010-04-08T05:02:33.068-07:00I don't find startitis all that bad anymore!I don't find startitis all that bad anymore!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929920771003768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-91275533179151431122010-04-07T22:18:18.724-07:002010-04-07T22:18:18.724-07:00Oh Margaret I live your startitis!

Yes we have a very small third bedroom and u got rid of the bed in there, bought a futon for the grandchildren to sleep on, and when not being slept in for me to sit and stitch and bought a table from Costco all ready for my seeing machine and serger. So has the room become my sewing/quilting room? Nope it had not - it's become general dumping ground and clothes drying room!!! <br /><br />Good luck to your boy child with his audition. <br /><br />Love<br />patti xxxPatricia Lessellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747595273484731811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-28198910079275219242010-04-07T19:00:55.892-07:002010-04-07T19:00:55.892-07:00What great starts!

I don't mind large motifs, although I do understand the feeling of wanting to move on to the next part when stitching. Anyway, Margaret, when you decide to pick it back up, I will be drooling as I watch your progress. Ok, that was not a good visualization.<br />Your quilt colors are gorgeous. You can use my sewing room, such as it is. I warn you though, it is piled high, is really only a corner of a room, and I trip over everything all the time.Juelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178518091908141655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-53985884399348516062010-04-06T17:43:31.128-07:002010-04-06T17:43:31.128-07:00WOW what a weekend!

I do hope that you keep going on Freelove!!!<br /><br />You can come over and use my craft room any time you like!!!! Although I still don't have it set up for maximum efficiency (working on that). I know what you're going through. In our other house I would either sew in the living room or the dining room. And it always was a mess. Kind of strange when people would come over, walk in the front door, and see an assembly line of fabric across the living room floor. But come over anytime - the door's always open!!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-7650337254792967152010-04-06T17:25:19.045-07:002010-04-06T17:25:19.045-07:00Uh, question:I seem to recall quite a large gorgeo...Uh, question:I seem to recall quite a large gorgeous back room that had a huge table in it.
