How's your Cindo de Mayo going? We always go out for this celebration but decided not to this year. You know it's Seis de Mayo that will kill you!! Took me a few years to learn that important lesson. Plus I have to rest up for next week.
Nancy and I leave on Wednesday for Salt Lake City for Quilt Market. We are so excited we can not wait. Our friends Kelly Ann, Brenda, Roseann, and others are also staying at the same hotel as us. I'm seeing some fun happy hours in our future. Not to mention all the shopping for the website. I'll be blogging while away but the post will be on my Daisy blog so make sure you check that. I'll be doing give aways so you'll want to make notes and pay attention.
I've been sewing, well really stitching alot lately. Here's some of what I've been doing. I love the little Australian patterns. They have the design already stamped for you, no tracing. You just get busy stitching.
This is another one of them. Love this. I've made kits for this one.
This is little. I took the photo close up so it's looks bigger than it is. This is a kit too.
Awhile ago I took pictures of the rest of my sewing area downstairs. I posted one part long ago and will post it again too. But first I'll show what I did already. Of course now it's even fuller of fabric! I'm busting at the seams down there. Pretty soon hunka is going to have to give up some of his workshop space. Ok that's not going to happen but I can dream can't I?
Ok, so walking into this part of the basement I am leaving my sewing area which I've shown before. And next blog post I'll show it again because I've moved it all around again. Here are one of my walls of trays filled with fabric. Straight ahead is my cutting table hunka built me years ago.
walking........
and walking......
Hunka thinks that is his resting area. Over there to the right is some of the bolts of fabric from the website.
Believe me it is never this clean. You should see it right now! OHMYGOODNESS!! Can you say tornado??
The floor is totally full of bolts now. I can't even get near the table until I pick them up and organize again.
Through that door is forbidden territory. Also knows as the workshop!!!
This is the other side of the door to hunka's area. More trays of fabric and bins of fabric I've not unpacked since moving.
And now we walk back to the sewing area. The closet there is a cedar closet filled with our winter/summer clothes we aren't using. It's huge!! And we have it full!!
I think I have some room left so I'll show you some of the other side while I was moving things over.
The door on the left if what we just came out of in the last picture. The stairs go to our upstairs. We love the staircase. It is so wide! It is 5 feet wide. Makes it nice for taking stuff up and down. Like when those poor movers were hauling all my stuff down there.
Walking around the corner to your right.
Turn around and there's my bathroom. I still am not happy with what I've done in there so I can't show you. I should say it's Nancy's bathroom and Boo's bathroom. They are the two that use it the most. Nancy even has her robe still hanging in there. Yes Boo did try it on!! haaaaa
Across from the bathroom is Daisy's room. Another huge mess. That's why the lights are OFF.
Can you see in there? Daisy is in there and she is piled high with quilt tops that are UNquilted. The design wall is full too.
Sort of a mess huh? That's my sewing table and as you can see I'm busy. Well it looks like it anyway.
Ok more later. Hope you enjoyed the tour.
In case your in need of fabric I am having 25% off on my website. Bundles and jelly rolls included. Must buy a full yard!!
I think this link will work now. website www.daisycottagequilting.com
Love the sewing room!! The highlighted word WEBSITE link isn't working... just so you can fix it..

Sharon, your sewing basement looks like the old shop!!! So cute!!! I could get very motivated in there!!! Enjoy market! I assume Nancy must be much better to be able to go.

Your going to be in Salt Lake City? When???? And for how long? I know you will be busy... but hmmmmmmm maybe I can stop and wave in your direction!!!
I hope that your bringing an empty suitcase to take stuff home in!!!! Cause I can imagine that you will need it.... of course, if you have a place set up hopefully you will sell all that you have too... and then that will give you plenty of room to take stuff home!
Let me know if you have a free moment or two... maybe I can stop in and say hello!!! Hope your bringing a coat... it's been raining some here today... and tomorrow it's suppose to be worse!
