A sewing room tour! What a wonderful idea! thank you to Ellison Lane for hosting the Studio Tour.
My sewing room looking south is my fabric stash behind door number 1 or door number 2? or door number 3? looking north at my design wall. The design wall is 2 sheets of foam insulation each 4 feet by 8 feet covered with flannel and nailed to the wall.
Door number 3 because it is close to my cutting mat. The table is my old kitchen table with an 18 inch leaf in it. The step stool was my Grandma Selma's and I sit on it to cut strips and pieces.
The stacks of fabric are mostly folded into fat quarter fourths and are 2 deep and 6 across. They are sorted by color and theme to a point. The upper left is hand dyes and batiks then background fabrics in small yardages then background fabrics in longer pieces. Some of the piles in the center are bits from current projects that I haven't refolded and sorted.
I keep my rulers on nails behind the door. My old Elna and very best friend (of 36 years and no complaints) is sitting on a stack of magazines at the moment while I do machine quilting. I needed her small table to the left of my cutting table to support the quilt and hold the tray of tools. When I am in piecing mode and want to sew fast my elna sits in front of my sweet 16.
Thread and tools more books and magazines under the quilt.
I wheel my chair around to work here when it is not a catch all space. The little wooden drawers were made for my Grandma Selma by her
grandfather in Sweden. She got it from an aunt of hers when she went
to Sweden in the 1950's. The high chair with the basket on top was my Grandma Elsie's. The steps come out and make wonderful shelves. This is where I sketch, design and figure, write letters and scrapbook. It is good to have a place to work and play with all my tools in easy reach. --Ann--

Your huge design board is fantastic. I also like how your rulers are hanging on the wall. I wish I had that kind of wall space. Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a little slice of heaven to me, thanks for sharing your sewing space!
Those rulers have me thinking, but I really don't need that much wall space for my three. :) You are definitely one lucky quilter. My fav is that huge design board, but the quilt on the machine....gorgeous!
