Sewing area

Yes, my sewing area is in the kitchen. When we moved into this cute little house in December, my hubby opted for a sewing area rather than a dining area. He even purchased the TV trays.

Some of the blogs I read have been showing off their studios.

So in keeping current with this trend, I thought I would show you mine. Above is my cutting area/

Kinda 4th of July Star quilt

I have been on a true sewing binge. I subscribe  to, "Cluck Cluck Sew" Blog. Recently she showed her 4th of July quilt. It is so pretty and I knew when I saw it,  I had to have one of my own. So 48 blocks later, I'm at the trimming stage.
