My sewing room, picnik and a winner

As promised, here is a picture of my sewing table that my husband has modified. I cant wait to quilt a large quilt on this table to see how smooth everything flows. If you want to do something similar to your table, there are some pointers here.



Whilst I'm giving you a tour (and the sewing room is unusually tidy) here is where I keep my fabric. The bottom drawer is where all my fat quarters and larger fabric pieces live. I'm very careful not to let this get out of control. Apart from anything else, my house just isn't big enough to have a huge stash.

The next drawer up is my scrap drawer, up from that, one of my batting scrap drawers and the top drawer is where I keep all my interfacings, adhesives and spray baste.

The fabrics on the shelf are all the mens shirts and tops I have cut up for my friends memory quilt.



To the left is my design wall, perfect for auditioning fabrics and swopping around blocks.



and finally, this is one of my shelves. There are normally loads of books on this shelf but I'm looking for some inspiration and they are all next to my bed.

I'm hoping to add a bit of character to the room before the end of the year, but as it remains messy most of the time I thought I would keep it relatively clutter free for now.

Moving on, I have to say, Im really sad about Picnik going. Since I began blogging, I've used it a lot to tidy up my images so I really hope that whatever Flickr decideds to switch to will eventually have just as many features. Although I have already heard on the grapevine that it will be very basic which is a huge shame. Will you be editing your pictures elsewhere from now on? If so, where?. Are there any other free sites you can recommend for me to edit my photos?

Thanks so much for giving me your thrifty quilt tips. There were loads of great tips and idea there, all of which, I will be using in future to help me save money.

The random number generator has spoken and the winner of the Christmas fabric scraps is:
